Dom.Treasury.Clause: See Bamberg's Spiritual Heritage with New Eyes

Dom.Treasury.Clause: Discover Bamberg's Precious History

On September 29, 2026, the public tour Dom.Treasury.Clause will take you through three outstanding places of the Bamberg Cathedral Hill: the Bamberg Cathedral, the Diocesan Museum, and the medieval cloister. In 90 minutes, an impressive city tour combines European art history, religious heritage, and an authentic atmosphere.

Romanesque Clarity and Gothic Vastness

The Bamberg Cathedral was built at the initiative of the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde. After several fires, the church was rebuilt between 1200 and 1237 in its current defining form. The clear architecture, the powerful vaults, and the sacred tranquility make the cathedral a special place for cultural discovery.

Masterpieces of European Art History

During the tour, visitors will encounter significant sculptures and art-historical testimonies. The famous Bamberg Rider is one of the outstanding works of the Middle Ages, influenced by French design. The imperial tomb made by Tilman Riemenschneider and the Mary altar created by Veit Stoß are also highlights of the tour.

The Cloister as a Silent Transition

The path through the Gothic cloister leads to the Diocesan Museum. Between historical stone sculptures and sacred artworks, immediate access to local history and Bamberg's cultural heritage is created. The cloister preserves a special atmosphere of light, stone, and centuries-old religious tradition.

Treasures from the Middle Ages

In the Diocesan Museum, precious textiles and liturgical objects are the focus. Significant exhibits include the 11th-century Star Mantle of Emperor Heinrich II, the vestments of Pope Clemens II, and the largest surviving Ottonian cross. The tour vividly brings these unique testimonies of medieval textile art, piety, and the history of rule to life.
