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.

    Bamberg World Heritage Office

    The World Heritage Center serves as the central coordinating body for all matters related to the World Heritage Site and oversees the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention locally. It was established in 2005 as the “World Heritage Documentation Center” by the City of Bamberg. All activities focus on preserving the outstanding universal value of the “Old Town of Bamberg” World Heritage Site, which is based on the layout and architecture of medieval and Baroque Bamberg.

    Management Plan

    The World Heritage Management Plan serves as the central planning tool for the protection, use, maintenance, and sustainable development of the World Heritage site.
    In accordance with the Guidelines for the Implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, the preparation of a management plan is a mandatory requirement for every World Heritage site.

    The Management Plan contains the key guidelines, tools, and organizational structures essential for the preservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Old Town of Bamberg” and its outstanding universal value. It outlines the associated tasks and the framework for the sustainable development of the World Heritage Site.
