Dom.Premium: Discover Bamberg's Cathedral with New Eyes

On October 3, 2026, the public tour Dom.Premium invites you to a 90-minute discovery experience in Bamberg Cathedral. Amid Romanesque architecture, impressive paintings, ornate altars, and mysterious crypts, the local history of one of Bamberg's most significant landmarks unfolds.

Masterpieces of German Sculpture

The focus of the city tour is outstanding works from the world of German sculpture. The Bamberg Horseman, the Laughing Angel, and the sculptures of the choir stalls narrate tales of medieval piety, courtly representation, and the extraordinary craftsmanship of their creators.

Imperial Tomb and Mary Altar

The imperial tomb created by Tilman Riemenschneider opens a window into the world around 1500. Legends about Heinrich and Kunigunde, illness and death, just rewards, and the weighing of souls are vividly brought to life through the artistically designed images. Veit Stoß's Mary Altar showcases the expressive power of late medieval woodcarving with its sculptural figures.

Crypts, Chapels, and Historical Portals

The Head Chapel and the two crypts make religious history directly experienceable. The portals of Bamberg Cathedral also become part of the narrative tour: the Portal of Adam, the Mary Gate, and the Princes' Portal reflect central questions of human history - from hope and challenge to guilt and redemption.
