Bamberg’s World Heritage is multi-faceted and complex. In order to raise awareness for World Heritage, the Bamberg World Heritage Office engages in professional exchange, publications and events in collaboration with numerous stakeholders.

The Visitor Centre

Located at the heart of the city, Bamberg's new World Heritage Visitor Centre displays Bamberg's outstanding universal value and serves as an interpretation aid for the World Heritage site.

Projects

In 1993, Bamberg was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list. But what does this title mean for the city and its residents? How is the World Heritage status relevant in everyday life? How does one achieve balance between conservation and community needs? Mastering this challenge is the aim of the Bamberg World Heritage Office.

Management

The Bamberg World Heritage Office serves as the central coordination body for all issues concerning the World Heritage site. It oversees the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in Bamberg. It represents the site nationally and internationally.

Place of Learning

The transmission of the World Heritage to future generations is one of the main tasks of a World Heritage site. For this purpose, the World Heritage Office has developed several educational resources.

    FSJ Kultur

    FSJ Kultur

    FSJ is an abbreviation for Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr (Voluntary Social Year). Since 2017, the Bamberg World Heritage Office participates in the voluntary service and hosts volunteers for 12 months each. The volunteers become part of the World Heritage team. They familiarize themselves with the working routines of a municipal administration and contribute to work of the office. In extra courses, volunteers acquire new skills and knowledge for their work and future career.

    Management Plan

    The World Heritage Management Plan serves as a central planning instrument for the protection, use, maintenance and sustainable development of the World Heritage Site. For each World Heritage site, the preparation of a Management Plan is one of its mandatory tasks, in accordance with the Guidelines for the Implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention.
    The Management Plan contains the central guidelines, instruments and organisational structures that are important for the conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Old Town of Bamberg" and its Outstanding Universal Value. It defines the associated tasks and the framework for the sustainable development of the World Heritage Site.
