A very beautiful, if rather simple, formerly Roman Catholic now Evangelical Lutheran city church with a great organ and currently a beautiful, large nativity scene.

A very original church with a long history. The sound is very interesting when playing the organ, the square structure allows you to hear wonderful tones of music. The Stephanskirche in the old town of Bamberg is the only Protestant church that was consecrated by the Pope (Benedict VIII). He was consecrated at Easter 1020 in the presence of Henry II. The monastery was founded in 1007/09 by Bishop Eberhard I of Bamberg, possibly on the instructions of Empress Kunigunda. Today's building was shaped by three construction periods. The oldest part is the tower with a roof from 1698. The choir from 1628 was built by the builder Giovanni Bonalino, the church in the shape of a Greek cross with three additional cross beams by Antonio Petrini in 1678-1681. Petrini preserved the original floor plan from the 11th century.

The church was consecrated by Pope Benedict VIII in 1020. However, this building has not been preserved. The reconstruction took place in the 17th century. There are also very modern elements in the church. This includes the center altar and baptismal font. In my opinion this is a very interesting design.

Magnificent from the outside, simple and bright from the inside. Especially at Pentecost, the church was wonderfully decorated with green branches. The church certainly cannot be compared with the cathedral, but it is still worth a visit.

This evangelical church is the church of a very ancient monastery, since it was erected in the 11th century, and maintained its existence until the beginning of the 19th century. It was a Catholic church, but today it is Protestant and its interior is clearly visible. This church was consecrated by a Pope, Benedict VIII, and it happens to be the only evangelical church that has consecrated a pope. It is very well maintained and has a magnificent organ.

What are you doing besides Bells ringing 0 (Original) Am Sonntag 18.04. 21 ist der gemeinsame Gedenktag an die Pandemieopfer und hoffentlich eine Ermutigung für die Menschen die hilflos dabei waren und jene welche sich nicht veraschieden konnten.

Simple, beautiful church in the heart of Bamberg. It impresses with its simple and elegant furnishings. Definitely worth a visit.

Pretty church with nice view over town. Bit of a trek to get up to but it’s usually quite quiet compared to other parts of town. Definitely worth checking out if you’re strolling through Bamberg. Lots of very pretty and nice winding old streets around it too!

This Italianate baroque sanctuary with a bright interior is part of the procession of monuments overlooking Bamberg.

(Translated by Google) The main Protestant church in Bamberg, consecrated by a Pope, is definitely worth seeing. The acoustics are also a pleasure, especially when the Mühleisen organ is used - masterfully played by the church music director Ms. Ingrid Kasper (Original) Die von einem Pabst geweihte evangelische Hauptkirche Bambergs ist unbedingt sehenswert. Ein Genuß ist auch die Akustik, insbesondere wenn die Mühleisenorgel zum Einsatz kommt- meisterhaft gespielt durch die Kirchenmusikdirektorin Frau Ingrid Kasper

(Translated by Google) A great church! As such, it is kept in plain white, which is nothing unusual for a Protestant church. The wooden seats on the side walls are surprisingly nicely designed, and closer inspection reveals interesting details. (Original) Eine tolle Kirche! An sich ist sie in schlichtem Weiß gehalten, was für eine evangelische Kirche allerdings nichts Ungewöhnliches ist. Überraschend hübsch gestaltet sind die hölzernen Sitze an den Seitenwänden bei genauerer Betrachtung entdeckt man interessante Details.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Protestant church in an originally Catholic building. Incidentally, St. Stephen's Church was consecrated 1001 years ago by the then Pope, which doesn't happen that often either 🙂 (Original) Wunderschöne evangelische Kirche in ursprünglich katholischem Gebäude. Übrigens wurde die Stephanskirche vor 1001 Jahren vom damaligen Papst geweiht, das gibt es auch nicht so oft 🙂

(Translated by Google) Nice church, with an impressive organ (also by whom it is held), audio guide and a funny mini statue. (Original) Schöne Kirche, mit beeindruckender Orgel (auch durch wen diese gehalten wird), Audio Guide und witziger Mini-Statue.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful baroque shape, on a Greek cross plan, built by Italian masters. An extraordinary and long history - the foundation of the holy empress Cunegunda. Empty, gutted interior, additionally spoiled by so-called contemporary art. (Original) Piękna barokowa bryła, na planie krzyża greckiego, budowana przez włoskich mistrzów. Niezwykła i długa historia - fundacja świętej cesarzowej Kunegundy. Puste, wypatroszony wnętrze, zepsute dodatkowo przez, tak zwaną, sztukę współczesną.

(Translated by Google) A very old church with almost 1000 years of history which is today the Evangelical Lutheran city church of Bamberg. She is on one of the seven hills.

Eine sehr schöne evangelische Kirche. Waren für eine Konfirmation dort. Sehr modern und für die jungen Konfirmanden perfekt gemachter Gottesdienst. Der Pfarrer und alle die am Gottesdienst mitwirkten, haben sich große Mühe gemacht und sich wirklich etwas tolles einfallen lassen. Kompliment an alle die bei der Planung mitwirkten. So macht Gottesdienst Spaß.
