Architecture that Makes History Tangible

Bamberg Cathedral was founded in the early 11th century under Emperor Henry and Kunigunde, repeatedly destroyed, and rebuilt between 1200 and 1237. The clear design language of the building, the famous Bamberg Rider, and the work of great sculptors like Tilman Riemenschneider and Veit Stoß shape the image of this city tour. Here, local history is not told but spatially experienced.

A Cloister as a Transition to the World of Treasures

Particularly impressive is the passage through the Gothic cloister into the diocesan museum. There, visitors encounter high-quality original sculptures from the cathedral portals, as well as outstanding textiles and liturgical treasures. The star mantle of Emperor Henry II, the vestment of Pope Clement II, and the largest surviving Ottonian cross make the tour a cultural enrichment of exceptional density.
