The once imperial city of
Bamberg is located in northern Bavaria and is considered one of the most romantic of German cities. When Heinrich
II was crowned king of Germany in 1002 he
chose Bamberg as his favorite residence and laid the foundations for the development of the city, which started in the
Romanesque period and reached its peak in
the Baroque era. In 1993 Bamberg was awarded "World Heritage" status by
UNESCO. The town retains many splendid
mediaeval architectural features and over 3000
historical buildings.
