Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany
Bamberg is an outstanding historical city, its old town is a UNESCO recognised protected zone and it has a great deal to offer the visitor. Like Rome, with which you will see and feel the similarities on visiting, it is built on seven hills - Cathedral Hill, Michaelsberg, Kaulberg/Obere Pfarre, Stefansberg, Jakobsberg, Altenburg and Abtsberg. Once run by Prince Bishops, each hill is crowned with a church.
It seems as though the river is an important part of the life blood of the city. The Regnitz is not a long river but it splits into two thus appearing to be everywhere and it flows into the Main near Bamberg. The Rhine – Main – Danube canal also passes near the city. I left my motorhome at a camp site to the south of the city and cycled in following the river and also using my bicycle to explore the area between the branches of the river and the canal. I was fortunate to visit in June which I suspect could be the best time of the year to visit!
Bamberg was first mentioned in 902CE and its name comes from the Babenberg family. The Holy Roman Emperor Henry II ordered the building of a cathedral, which was consecrated 6 May 1012. The church was enriched with gifts from the pope, and Henry had it dedicated in honor of him. In 1017 Henry also founded Michaelsberg Abbey on the Michaelsberg (another Mount St. Michael like those in Normandy and Cornwall), for the training of the clergy. When Pope While he was here he placed the diocese in direct dependence on the Holy See and personally consecrated some of Bamberg's churches. It would be fair to say that at this time, Bamberg was the centre of the Holy Roman Empire. Both Emperor Henry and his wife Kunigunde were buried in the cathedral.
From the middle of the 13th century onward the bishops ruled the Holy Roman Empire. This benefited Bamberg and left us with some of the magnificent buildings we see today, particularly around the area of the Cathedral.
We also see in Bamberg some of the excesses of the Church. The city is noted for the witch trials of the 17th century which claimed about one thousand victims in Bamberg, reaching a climax between 1626 and 1631, under the rule of Prince-Bishop Johann Georg II Fuchs von Dornheim.
In 1803 the Holy Roman Empire was wound up by Napoleon and Bamberg became part of Bavaria. It had a population then in excess of 200,000.
Bamberg was first connected to the German rail system in 1844, which has been an important part of its infrastructure ever since.
After a communist uprising took control over Bavaria in the years following World War I, the state government fled to Bamberg from Munich The first republican constitution of Bavaria was passed in Bamberg.
In February 1926 Bamberg served as the venue for the Bamberg Conference, convened by Adolf Hitler in his attempt to foster unity and to stifle dissent within the Nazi party. Bamberg was chosen for its location in Upper Franconia, reasonably close to the residences of the members of the dissident northern Nazi faction but still within Bavaria.
Bamberg escaped significant damage during WW2 but it could have been here where German resistance leader Claus von Stauffenberg had the idea to use the Valykire Plan as a means of overthrowing the Nazis. In the film Valkyrie, we see Stauffenberg at home in with his wife taking shelter as bombers pass over head whilst the children play at being Valkyries and Wagner’s music is playing on the record player. Stauffenberg’s home was at Schützenstraße 20 in Bamberg and his widow lived there after the war.
There are also underground tunnels beneath the town. These were originally constructed as mines which supplied sandstone which could be used for construction or as an abrasive cleaner. Mining came to an end in 1920 but a 12km tunnel network remained. The tunnels were used as an air raid shelter during World War II. A part of the network can be visited on a guided tour
The most curious building in Bamberg must be the Obere Brücke which was completed in 1455. Halfway across this, on an island, is the Rathaus or town hall which in its current state largely dates to 1756. The lyceum, formerly a Jesuit college, contains a natural history museum. The old palace (Alte Hofhaltung) was built in 1591 on the site of an old residence of the counts of Babenberg. Monuments include the Maximilian fountain (1880), with statues of King Maximilian I of Bavaria, the emperor Henry II and his wife, Conrad III and Saint Otto, bishop of Bamberg.[2]
Bamberg is known for its beer and is home to nine breweries. And I should mention its lively atmosphere!

Walk around Bamberg and tour the breathtaking cathedral and old town hall
Bamberg is Germany's World Heritage City. The entire city is recognized by UNESCO for its cultural importance and it certainly deserves that recognition. Nestled between the Main and Regnitz rivers Bamberg is an intimate and attractive city, Mark shows you why.
Neue Residenz Bamberg - Walking Tour, Bavaria, Germany
Neue Residenz Bamberg - Walking Tour, Bavaria, Germany
The four-winged complex of the New Residence was built in two stages. Firstly, the backwards two-winged section, which flanks the Obere Karolinenstrasse, was built from 1602 on in the Renaissance style under Prince Bishop von Gebsattel. Then, under Prince Bishop Lothar von Schönborn, the Baroque wings facing the Cathedral were built between 1697 and 1703 as a residence for the Prince Bishop by Leonhard Dientzenhofer.
The magnificent building complex has over 40 state rooms featuring stucco-work ceilings, furniture and tapestries from the 17th and 18th centuries. Painted on the walls of the Imperial Hall are 16 larger than life-sized portraits of emperors, the work of Melchior Steidl.
The Elector's Rooms, the Prince-Bishop's Apartments and the gallery with Old German and Baroque paintings (Branch of the Bavarian State Galleries) are of particular interest and there is a fine view from the Rose Garden in the Residence courtyard. Prince Bishop Friedrich Karl von Schönborn had this regularly symmetrical garden laid out by Balthasar Neumann. It is bordered with clipped lime trees and a dainty garden pavilion (completed in 1757) and with around 4,500 roses in over 70 beds it is filled in summer with fragrance and colour. Every year, the rosen garden serenades take place there.

Bamberg, Germany
Bamberg is located in Franconia, 63 km (39 mi) north of Nuremberg by railway and 101 km (63 mi) east of Würzburg, also by rail. It is situated on the Regnitz river, 3 km (1.9 mi) before it flows into the Main river.
Its geography is shaped by the Regnitz and by the foothills of the Steigerwald, part of the German uplands. From northeast to southwest, the town is divided into first the Regnitz plain, then one large and several small islands formed by two arms of the Regnitz (Inselstadt), and finally the part of town on the hills, the Hill Town (Bergstadt).
Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the Franconian Rome — although a running joke among Bamberg's tour guides is to refer to Rome instead as the Italian Bamberg. The hills are Cathedral Hill, Michaelsberg, Kaulberg/Obere Pfarre, Stefansberg, Jakobsberg, Altenburger Hill and Abtsberg.

Bamberg Beer Tour | TMOH On The Road
Not too long ago I went on a trip to Bamberg in Germany, and shot this beer tour of the beautiful old city. Hope you guys enjoy the video!
Social Media:
See Bamberg, Germany in one day.
For a short time, Bamberg was the center of the Holy Roman Empire and today the city's churches, monasteries, and other old religious buildings are one of the main attractions.
Many are within one of Europe's largest intact old town centers which is ideal for walking. The narrow winding streets, half-timbered buildings and imposing squares make this a great place to visit.
Nine breweries, smoked beer, and the University of Bamberg are the flip side of the city. These give it a young vibe which you see on the streets.
We saw most of the city's attractions in one day with the exception of The Altenburg which is located on the highest of Bamberg's seven hills. It was constructed in the early 12th century and was the residence of Bamberg's bishops for 300 years. It was repaired in 1801 and today houses a popular restaurant.
Bamberg has a good range of accommodation and I urge you to stay close to the center so that you can walk to most sights. Many streets are pedestrianized so a car is not useful here. There are some buses and tours to places outside the main old center.
