🎧 Listen to Introduction

From the 10th century onwards, the town became an important link with the Slavic peoples, especially those in Poland and Pomerania. From the 12th century onwards, Bamberg reached its peak, with its architecture having a profound influence on northern Germany and Hungary. At the end of the 18th century, Bamberg became the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with famous philosophers and writers such as Hegel and Hoffmann living here.
