Dom.Schatz.Kreuzgang: Discover Bamberg's Art and Religious History

On October 17, 2026, the public tour Dom.Schatz.Kreuzgang opens an impressive access to the most significant cultural-historical treasures of Bamberg. In 90 minutes, sacred architecture, European art history, and the quiet atmosphere of the medieval cloister combine for an intense discovery experience on the Cathedral Hill.

Romanesque Clarity and Gothic Atmosphere

The tour takes you through Bamberg Cathedral, the cathedral treasury, and the Gothic cloister. The cathedral was built at the initiative of the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde in the early 11th century. After several fires, it was rebuilt between 1200 and 1237. Its clear form language and historically significant spaces make the city tour an encounter with living cultural heritage.

Masterpieces of European Art History

The focus is on outstanding sculptures and testimonies of medieval piety. The famous, nameless Bamberg Horseman is one of the most striking works of art in the cathedral. French influences shape the language of sculpture, while the imperial tomb made by Tilman Riemenschneider and the Marian altar carved by Veit Stoß provide further highlights.

The Cathedral Treasure as a Memory of the Middle Ages

Through the cloister, participants access the diocesan museum. Here, they encounter precious textiles and sacred artworks, including the 11th-century star mantle, the vestment of Pope Clement II, and the largest preserved Ottonian cross. These originals make local history visible and convey historical contexts directly.

The tour is aimed at everyone who wants to not only visit Bamberg but also understand it in its spiritual, architectural, and art-historical depth. The event takes place in the cathedral and the diocesan museum. The meeting point is at the diocesan museum at Domplatz 5.
