A place where European art history comes alive

Bamberg Cathedral tells of the imperial couple Henry and Cunegonde, of reconstruction after fires, and of a clear architectural design language that continues to impress today. The famous Bamberg Rider, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the altar of Mary by Veit Stoss mark art historical highlights that make Bamberg visible far beyond the region.
