THINGS TO DO IN BAMBERG GERMANY

UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE

AN IMPRESSIVE UNESCO DESIGNATED RATHAUS AND A UNIQUE SMOKED BEER DEFINE THIS MEDIEVAL JEWEL AT THE CONFLUENCE OF TWO RIVERS

Map Bamberg, Germany 

A UNESCO Heritage Site since 1993, Bamberg is located at the confluence of the Regnitz and Main rivers.    Unique in that it extends over seven hills each crowned by a beautiful church, Bamberg has been dubbed the “Rome of Franconia.”  The town was first mentioned in 902 A.D. With a condensed historical town center, there are several things to do in Bamberg that will be the highlights of your visit.

A BRIEF HISTORY

For a brief period in the 11th century, Bamberg was the center of the Holy Roman Empire. Pope Benedict VIII visited Bamberg in 1020 and consecrated several of the town’s churches.  The church would dominate much of Bamberg for the next few centuries. From 1626–1631, witch trails consumed Bamberg and neighboring Wurzburg.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, portions of the Holy Roman Empire were affected by a “Little Ice Age” that resulted in a drop in temperatures and repeated catastrophic crop failure. Needing a responsible party to blame (and unable to scientifically explain the dramatic climate change), the peasants turned their attention to members of the community they assessed to be engaged in witchcraft. In total, over 1000 individuals would ultimately be tried, executed and held at the Drudenhaus (witch prison), which was built in 1627.

In more recent times, Adolf Hitler chose the city in 1926 as the location for the Bamberg Conference — an effort by Hitler to foster unity and stifle dissent within the young Nazi party.  Miraculously, Allied bombs only destroyed 2.6% of Bamberg during WW2 so most of the city was preserved for us to enjoy today.

HOW TO SPEND ONE DAY IN BAMBERG

 If you like exploring medieval town centers then you will love Bamberg.  Built on the water, this medieval jewel is incredibly unique and scenic.  There are cafes all along the waterfront.  Notably, the town is connected by a series of bridges and cobblestoned alleys that you can wander to your heart’s content.  If you are curious and enjoy discovering ancient streets, there is no shortage of things to see and do in Bamberg.  

THE ALTES RATHAUS

THINGS TO DO IN BAMBERG travelcircus.de

Bamberg is well known for its famous Brücken (bridges) and Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall).  A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Rathaus is one of the most impressive examples of medieval architecture in the world. 

In 1455, Bamberg’s inhabitants built bridges to join the upper and lower towns. The bridges connected on an island located in the middle of the Regnitz River. Uniquely situated on this island is the impressive Altes Rathaus, rebuilt in the 1750s. According to local legend, when the bishop of Bamberg refused to grant land for the construction of a town hall, the citizens went ahead and built the island and the town hall.

FOOT BRIDGES

The endless bridges that cross the river are what make Bamberg unique.  Explore this town on foot and discover what it has to offer.  This is really one of the main highlights of Bamberg.

TUNNELS

Bamberg also boasts several underground tunnels beneath the town. The tunnels were originally constructed as mines to supply sandstone. The money from these mines paid for the magnificent structures in the town.  Although mining came to an end in 1920, the 7.5-mile (12.1 km) network of tunnels remained. During WW2, German war-time industry was moved underground to avoid bombs.  German workers pulled 24 hour shifts underground producing spark plugs and electrical components to support the war effort.  Additionally, the tunnels were used as air-raid shelters and could accommodate for 20,000 citizens.

Other unique historical sites in Bamberg include the 11th century Alte Hofhaltung (Old Palace), the early 12th century Altenburg Castle, and the early 17th century Neue Residenz (New Residence). Also of note is the Klein Venedig (Little Venice), the 17th-century timber constructed fisherman’s quarter located along the Regnitz River near the Altes Rathaus.  These are all located in the same section of town and you will encounter these places around the Altes Rathaus.

SMOKED BEER (RAUCH BEER)

smoked beer things to do in bambergholdmybeer.de

Want to try something that is distinctly Bamberg-ian?  Bamberg has its own distinct style of beer that harks back to before the industrial age.  You won’t find smoked beer readily available outside of Bamberg.  Replicating an ancient process, the malt for the beer is roasted over a beechwood fire instead of being dried an oven. In this way, the smoke from the fire imparts a distinct smoke flavor when the beer is brewed.  Smoked beer is certainly “different” and worth giving a try.  

BREWERIES

Like beer?  You have hit the motherlode.  Bamberg is home to nine breweries: Brauerei FässlaBrauerei Greifenklau, Brauerei Heller-Trum (Schlenkerla), Brauerei KaiserdomKeesmann BräuKlosterbräuMahrs Bräu, and Brauerei Spezial, and a brewpub, Ambräusianum. The most famous Rauchbier breweries are the Schlenkerla Brewery and the Spezial Brewery. Both Schlenkerla and Spezial have pubs featuring their famous brew, which the locals refer to as “liquid bacon.” Zymurgists (beer experts) will appreciate the fact that Schlenkerla is a sixth-generation family brewery established in 1405 who still serves beer the old fashioned way — from wooden barrels.

OUR EXPERIENCE SPENDING THE DAY IN BAMBERG

What started as a brief side trip en route from Nuremberg to Vienna, turned into a magical evening as we strolled along the streets of this charming medieval town. We parked our vehicle at the spacious Parkhaus Centrum Sud (Parking Garage City Center South) located on Schützenstraße 2. We then walked on foot to the Salino Pizzeria, a fantastic modern Italian restaurant featuring a wood-fired oven. (The pizza and pasta were first-rate.)  Our tummies full and a few glasses of wine later, we hit the streets of the old town, eventually making our way to the Altes Rathaus.

The evening lighting on the Altes Rathaus was spectacular and it was well worth the time to stop and admire the beautiful frescoes painted on the structure. We were amazed at the unique construction of the Altes Rathaus –large portions of this magnificent structure appeared to defy gravity as they hovered over the river below.

We lost ourselves in the old city and eventually made our way up a winding street to the Bamberg Cathedral, the Alte Hofhaltung, and the Neue Residenz. We explored the top of the hill for a brief period before making our way back to the Old Town. The streets were alive as the overflow crowds from the Rauch (smoked) beer breweries poured onto the cobblestone streets with pints in hand. Strolling through the cobblestone streets of the city at dusk and during the evening hours created an ambiance that harked back to the medieval days. 

Overall, we found Bamberg to be a highly explorable city — cute, yet interesting and at times downright intriguing.

PRO TIPS AND OTHER THINGS TO DO IN BAMBERG

PRO TIP 1.  Bamberg is best explored on foot. Park your vehicle and hit the cobblestone as soon as possible. Alternatively, bicycle paths along the rivers create another means of exploration.

PRO TIP 2. Devote the majority of your time exploring the Altes Rathaus, the network of bridges, and the Old Town.  After visiting the major sites, meander down the medieval alleyways in the Old Town.

PRO TIP 3.  Visiting the Old Town in the evening creates a certain “medieval mood” that can’t be replicated during the daylight hours. In fact, one feels as though they should be carrying a candle or lantern.  At the Altes Rathaus, take time to gaze at the intricate frescoes painted on the exterior of the building, then step inside to check out the Rococo hall.

Jewish Vienna Forgotten Internment Camps

JEWISH VIENNA | FORGOTTEN INTERNMENT CAMPS

VIENNA’S JEWS WERE DEPORTED FROM THESE FORGOTTEN INTERNMENT CAMPS PERSPECTIVES   Unlike in Germany, where the Jewish population was deported from several different cities, in Austria deportations of the Jewish population were centralized from Vienna’s Aspangbahnhof or Aspang Railway Station.  From February 1941 to October 1942, the majority of the Vienna’s Jewish population was deported to ghettos and concentration camps in the east from this train station.    The transports to the camps were organized by Austrian born SS Captain Adolf Eichmann, who was in charge of the Nazi Central Agency for Jewish Emigration in Vienna.  Eichmann had one primary objective — to speed up the rate that Jews were being deported from the city. Before being deported, Jews were held against their will at four internment camps in Vienna’s 2nd District: – Kleine Sperlgasse 2a; – Castellezgasse 35; – Malzgasse 7; and  – Malzgasse 16 At these camps, Jews were bullied, humiliated, and robbed of their honor and last possessions before being sent to their deaths.  Today, these camps have all been completely forgotten to history. Between 1939-1945, a total of 48,953 Jews were forcibly deported from Vienna.  Of this number, 47,035 Jews were forcibly transported on trains that departed from the Aspangbahnhof.  Tragically, only 1,073 of the Jews deported from the Aspangbahnhof would survive the Holocaust.    HOMECOMPANION GUIDE    Disclosure: White House Travel is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and Agoda affiliate programs, designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon and affiliated sites at no extra cost to you.

Operation Radetzky Memorial in Am Spitz Floridsdorf

OPERATION RADETZKY MEMORIAL

Table of Contents1 A MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO THE MEN WHO TRIED TO SAVE A CITY2 OPERATION RADETZKY2.1 THE NERO DECREE2.2 TRAGEDY STRIKES2.3 SAVING VIENNA3 OPERATION RADETZKY MEMORIAL4 EPILOGUE5 NEAR THIS PLACE6 BEST PLACES TO STAY7 BOOKSHELF8 A MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO THE MEN WHO TRIED TO SAVE A CITY Am Spitz, 21st District   OPERATION RADETZKY On 19 March 1945, Hitler issued what became known as the “Nero Decree” — the planned destruction of all infrastructure within the German Reich.  Operation Radetzky was the code name given to a defensive plan organized by a group of Austrian opponents of the Nazi regime to surrender the city of Vienna to the advancing Soviet army.  The plan involved four major players: Major Carl Szokoll, Major Karl Biederman, Lieutenant Rudolph Raschke, and Second Lieutenant Alfred Huth.  Today, the Operation Radetzky Memorial stands in their honor. THE NERO DECREE In Vienna, German troops were ordered to destroy the city’s vital infrastructure for transportation, information, industry and public utilities.  This would include bridges, railway stations, water plants, electrical plants, gas plants, important road corridors, public transportation networks – in short anything and everything the enemy could use to help them advance their goals.   Viennese Major Carl Szokoll was instructed to draft the plans for Vienna’s self-destruction.  However, this was not Szokoll’s first rodeo.  In July 1944, Szokoll participated in Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg’s plot to assassinate Hitler at the Wolf’s Lair and to assume power.  During Operation Valkyrie, Stauffenberg detonated a bomb in the presence of Hitler; however, Hitler miraculously survived the blast.  Believing incorrectly that Hitler had been killed, Szokoll and other plotters rounded up the leading SS and Nazi officials in Vienna. During the ensuing investigation, Szokoll was able to convince the Gestapo that he had simply been following orders and was released.  Szokoll was promoted to Major and was tasked with defending Vienna from the advancing Soviets.  In Spring 1945, Szokoll joined Operation Radetzky and became one of the key players.  For Operation Radetzky to succeed, Szokoll and other military commanders in Vienna needed to pretend they were making preparations to destroy the city, while actually making plans to save it from annihilation.  Szokoll worked closely with the Austrian Resistance group, the O5, to successfully contact Soviet leadership.  Separately, the Allies agreed to not bomb Vienna during the turnover.   TRAGEDY STRIKES On the evening of 4 April,  Major Karl Biedermann was betrayed and arrested by the Gestapo.  Biedermann’s role in Operation Radetzky, which had now been partially uncovered, was to secure the city’s bridges.  The Gestapo frantically investigated to determine the goals of Operation Radetzky.  The Operation continued as planned. On 5 April, Soviet planes dropped red flares to signal their arrival overhead.  The resistance fighters responded with green flares to mark the beginning of Operation Radetzky.  Lieutenant Rudolf Raschke, and Second Lieutenant Alfred Huth were arrested while trying to commandeer the Bisamberg radio tower on the northern edge of Vienna.  Szokoll was warned, evaded arrest and fled to the Soviet 9th Guards Army command post at Purkersdorf where he briefed the Soviets on the failure of the operation. On 8 April, the Nazis hung Biedermann, Raschke, and Huth from the lampposts at the Am Spitz square in Floridsdorf.  Signs attached to their bodies read “I have made a pact with the Bolsheviks.” SAVING VIENNA In addition to the planned surrender, Szokoll and his team provided the Soviets with the the German battle plans for the defense of Vienna as well as the locations of munitions and other key military details.  Suing this intelligence, the Soviets surprised the Nazis by advancing from the West and North rather than the South.  The Battle for Vienna lasted from 6-13 April 1945.  The rapid Soviet advance prevented the Nazis from creating a siege situation and saved numerous lives and the left Vienna largely intact. OPERATION RADETZKY MEMORIAL Today, the Operation Radetzky Memorial stands in the Am Spitz square to recognize the bravery of Major Karl Biederman, Lieutenant Rudolph Raschke, and Second Lieutenant Alfred Huth.  There is also plaque on the main entrance of the Town Hall in Am Spitz.    EPILOGUE After the war, Szokoll went on to start a film production company.  He is buried in the Central Cemetery of Vienna. Biedermann, Raschke, and Huth were cremated and had their remains buried on 2 August 1945 in Vienna in Hietzingen cemetery (group 66, row 19, number 5).

World War 2 Sites Near Vienna Air Raid Shelter in Floridsdorf

VIENNA AIR RAID SHELTER

Table of Contents1 A WORLD WAR 2 AIR RAID SHELTER NEAR VIENNA HAS A PASTEL MAKEOVER1.1 ALLIED BOMBING OF VIENNA1.2 CONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR RAID SHELTER1.3 PURPOSE OF THE AIR RAID SHELTER1.4 AIR RAID SHELTER TODAY2 NEAR THIS PLACE3 BEST PLACES TO STAY4 BOOKSHELF5 A WORLD WAR 2 AIR RAID SHELTER NEAR VIENNA HAS A PASTEL MAKEOVER Gerichtsgasse, 21st District   Nestled in a quiet neighborhood across the Danube River in the 21st District, just minutes from the city center of Vienna, is one of the city’s remaining relics of World War 2.  This massive concrete Air Raid Shelter near Vienna was constructed during Summer 1944 – Spring 1945.  You will need to work hard to find this gem as it is not on any tourist maps.  The front of the Air Raid Shelter has been painted in warm pastels.  The Shelter is located just off the sidewalk and sits between two modern apartment buildings.  There are no restrictions or fences, so you can walk around and explore as much as you like.  Although the front of the Air Raid Shelter has been painted, the rest of the structure is “as is” and its 1940’s era concrete remains is good condition.  The doors have been bricked up so you cannot enter.  Although the Air Raid Shelter has been characterized as a Memorial, there are no visible signs to this effect. ALLIED BOMBING OF VIENNA The city of Vienna was bombed 52 times during World War 2.  Allied bombs destroyed 37,000 buildings and approximately 20% of the entire city.  The first air raid took place on 4 September 1942, when a lone Soviet bomber targeted the city.  Allied planes began bombing Vienna in earnest in 1944.   The skies over Vienna were defended by a ring of anti-aircraft batteries set up around the city and by three pairs of Flak Towers.  By early 1945, Vienna had already faced 1,800 bombs.  In February and March 1945, 80,000 tons of bombs were dropped by US and British aircraft.  270,000 people were left homeless. CONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR RAID SHELTER Hungarian Jews as well as Polish and Russian slaves from the Vienna-Floridsdorf satellite camp of the Mauthausen concentration camp were used as forced labor to build the Air Raid Shelter.  After completing the Shelter, the Nazis forced these laborers to march 120 miles to the main Mauthausen concentration camp in Upper Austria.  In 1945, the Shelter was damaged when a munition exploded on the roof.      PURPOSE OF THE AIR RAID SHELTER This Air Raid Shelter was specifically built to protect the workers at the nearby Siemens facility in Floridsdorf.  Among other armaments contracts, this Siemens facility produced control components for the V-2 rocket.  The Air Raid Shelter also protected workers at the Heinkel-Süd aircraft factory, the Floridsdorf Oil Refinery, as well as technicians at the nearby Messerschmitt Engine Factory. In early July 1944, Allied bombers struck the Heinkel-Süd plant in Floridsdorf, destroying the third prototype of the He 177B four engined bomber, and possibly damaging the incomplete fourth prototype He 177B airframe. During the Allied oil campaign, American B-17 and B-24s dropped their payloads 16 times on the Floridsdorf Oil Refinery.
