"Bamberg – world heritage“ presents the thousand-year-old city in a totally new light. Individual facets, and not the global and sometimes unclear picture of the city, are explored. Names which, in part, Bamberg was given hundreds of years ago, are brought to life. The chapter are “The City of the Emperor”, “The City fo Bishops”, “The City of Monasteries and Convents” and at last “The City of the 19th and 20th Centuries”. Five individual elements come together as a perfect whole and offer insights into Bamberg’s history and art as only few people know them. Using many splendid photographs depicting parts of Bamberg of which even locals are seldom aware, this book represents a fascinating portrayal of Bamberg’s place in the “World Heritage”.
