Bamberg's Brueckenrathaus
Bamberg's town hall is built on a bridge over the Regnitz River. It serves both as a town hall and occasional exhibition center.The 15th century half-timbered building falls all the way down the side of the bridge almost into the river itself. Hovering over the two bridges is the newer part of the Townhall, built in the 18th century in a garish Baroque style. The colourful frescoes on the sides of the building are just fantastic, and make this one of the most unusual and most picturesque town halls in all of Germany, if not Europe.Why was the Town Hall built on this *strange* location? The legend explains that the unusual construction site was chosen because the Bishop refused to grant the citizens a building site for the Town Hall that the citizens wanted to have. Maybe it was a good thing because the current Town Hall is magnificent the way it stands today and the location very different and unique!
After we left Bamberg we decided to drive to Wurzburg going through all the little villages enroute rather than taking the autobahn. We came into this relatively small town, Ebrach that had this huge church in the center of town. The Parish Church of Ebrach as it is known has a very plain exterior of gray stone blocks. The church, originally
A View of St. Michael's
Here is a view of the 11th century Benedictine monastery from the Neue Residenz's rose garden. Unfortunately, the roses were not in bloom.
It was wonderful driving through the German countryside at the height of fall. Germany is beautiful but in the fall all the leaves burst forth in flaming colors which are both beautiful and breathtaking. The area between Bamberg and Wurzburg is filled with vineyards, which produce some of the best German wines. Just outside the village of Volkach we stopped at Maria im Weingarten (St. Mary in the Vineyard), a church surrounded by vineyards. I was amazed by how different the colors of the vineyard leaves were. They formed a patchwork pattern along the hillsides. The fall colors among the vineyards
St. Michael's
This eleventh century Benedictine monastary sits atop one of the highest of the seven hills overlooking the city. The modern monastary was largely rebuilt after fire damage in 1610, and thus combines the architectural styles of the original Romanesque with the later, slightly less inspiring, Gothic. In the cellars of the front courtyard you can also find the Frankisches Brauereimuseum, which shows off the fine history of Bamberg\'s brewing industry, from the time of the monk\'s first beers to the modern day. (Unfortunately it was closed when we were there) Why is there a statute of what appears to be Mercury in front of the church? I have no idea except maybe as a speedy messenger service for prayers to God.
Auf Wiedersehen!

Our voyage through life has taken a rather pleasant and unexpected turn. After spending three years in Bavaria in the beautiful town of Ansbach and two more in Landstuhl, near the French and Luxembourg borders, Kate was accepted for a two year extension at the Landstuhl Military Hopsital. So, our journeys will continue for us here in Europe, at least for the next two years. I hope you will enjoy our adventures and stories of our trips. So, please join us. As I have shared with you before what St. Augustine said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page”. I hope... full info

Overlooking Bamburg
Behind St. Michael's there lies a beautiful park and from this park are some fantastic panoramic views of Bamberg.
The Church of Four Steeples
The church of St. Peter and St. George has four steeples and two main altars, one at each end. It is also the burial site of Pope Clemens II (who used to be Bishop of Bamberg) and is the only pope buried in Germany
Klein Venedig
Klein Venedig (the Small Venice) is a row of beautifully ornamented and restored 19-century houses situated along the river Regnizt. This romantic area is best seen from the bridge of Brueckenrathaus.
Entrance to Alte Hofhaltung
Adjacent to the Dom (Church of St. Peter & st. George) is the Alte Hofhaltung which was the residence of the bishop when the bishops used to rule Bamberg. Talk about an entry way!
A Quiet Scene in Bamberg
This park behind St. Michael's is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the city. This view includes the church of St. Jacob built in the 11th century.
Street Scene
Beautiful buildings abound in Bamberg. This restaurant with is colorful shutters and flowers is just one example. By the way, the bicycle in front of the restaurant is a German Post (mail) bike found throughout Germany. Notice the double wheeled kickstand.
You whoo!
The sculpture was in front of a restaurant we stopped at for lunch. You would think that the restaurant was trying to say it was a good feeder with this out front. Actually, the food was very good!
Bamberg Street Signs
While staying at the Bamberg Army Post I came across these street signs. The upper sign indicates tanks can only go in this direction (backwards?) and the lower sign indicates "No Tanks Allowed". Who is going to stop them?
The Parish Church of Erbach
This church was one of the most beautiful churches I have even seen.
Maria im Weingarten
This church is surrounded by vineyards on all sides and is well named "St. Mary in the Vineyard".
Vineyards Along the Main River
Notice how the different colors of the various vineyard leaves form a patchwork pattern along the hillsides.
German Country Road
It doesn't get anymore beautiful than this!

Kunigundenruh Strasse
Like many others- I too was stationed in Bamberg in the '80's. I had been in Crailsheim for only 6 months when they moved my unit to Bamberg. During my time there I had an apartment on Kunigundenruh Strasse- directly across from the "Green Goose". Our close proximity to the bar wasn't good for a young married couple. Anyhowwwwwww.........I really enjoyed my time in Stadt Bamberg. I've been back but would love to come visit and tour the city with my family now. Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. Tchuss!

Beautiful pictures
I grew up in Schweinfurt but was lucky enough to live in Bamberg for a year, to this day it is still my favorite city. I have been living in S.D. and Minnesota for the past 17 years. Your photo brought back some very fond memories. My last visit to Germany to visit my family in Schweinfurt was in 2000 and I made it a point to take the train to Bamberg for a day.

My son is about to go to Bamberg with the 173rd. I have seen some pictures online and found this site - can anyone tell me about the accommodations for a PFC with the 173rd Airborne? Barracks, I assume, but the Army advertises 4-man apartment-style living now (March 2009) so perhaps????

HWB 2/2 ACR
I too was stationed in Bamberg Germany with Howitzer Battery 2/2 ACR from 1985 to 1987. I remember SGT Manville who posted January 26th, 2009. Bamberg was an absolute beautiful area to be stationed at. I remember the Hills of Bamberg, the river in Bamberg, the many bridges, the stone cobbled streets and walkways, just a life and ambience of the city of itself that no one in America can even imagine. Best times had in Bamberg was when Sgt Chin (Chinchitlertt) bought his BMW and we'd go explore every corner of Bamberg. To Manville, I was MSGT Reids Driver and then 1st Sgt Yarboroughs driver when he came along. If you remember me too, Nice to say HI!
