Dom.Schatz.Kreuzgang: Discover Bamberg's Sacred Cultural Heritage
In the heart of the historic cathedral city, this public city tour takes you through the Bamberg Cathedral, the Cathedral Treasure, and the Gothic Cloister. In 90 minutes, an impressive discovery experience unfolds between European art history, religious heritage, and the authentic atmosphere of the Cathedral Hill.
Architecture between Romanesque and Gothic
The Bamberg Cathedral was established on the initiative of the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde in the early 11th century. After several fires, the church was rebuilt between 1200 and 1237. Its clear forms, monumental spatial impact, and the connection of various construction phases make the cathedral an outstanding sight of the city.
Masterpieces of European Art History
During the tour, visitors encounter significant sculptures and historical artworks. The nameless Bamberg Rider is among the most famous artworks of the Middle Ages. The imperial tomb crafted by Tilman Riemenschneider and the Marian altar sculpted by Veit Stoß illustrate the high quality of late medieval art and the French influences on Bamberg sculpture.
Through the Cloister to the Diocesan Museum
Over the Gothic Cloister, the tour leads into the Diocesan Museum. There, precious liturgical textiles and sacred artworks preserve the local history of the diocese. Highlights include the 11th-century star mantle, the vestment of Pope Clement II, and the largest preserved Ottonian cross. History becomes visible, tangible, and experientially significant here.
