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.

    World Heritage Education

    Using cultural heritage as a teaching tool

    World
    Heritage
    Education

    The World Heritage site of Bamberg is relevant not only as a valuable historical ensemble, but also as a testimony of past human life, work, and activities that guide us towards understanding the present. What could be more meaningful than integrating cultural heritage in the school curriculum and familiarizing young people with their surroundings?

    2016 teacher training

    In 2016, the Bamberg World Heritage Office together with Bamberg Centre for Teacher Training (BAZL) organized Germany’s first teacher training conference focussing on World Heritage as an educational resource. Based on locally anchored lectures and hands-on methods the training presented World Heritage as a place of multi-disciplinary learning; not only for history lessons, but for a wide range of school subjects. About 120 teachers from Bacaria and beyond participated in the conference.
