On a discovery tour

We'll tell you about some of the works of art that are particularly worth seeing:

One of the most famous masks and also the oldest in the city is the leaf mask on the console stone of the Bamberg Horseman in Bamberg Cathedral. Other so-called leaf masks can also be admired at Pfahlplätzchen.

Das Apfelweibla

Every Bamberg resident knows the ‘Apfelweibla’. This friendly face serves as the doorknob of a house in the Eisgrube and has become famous thanks to E.T.A. Hoffmann's story ‘The Golden Pot’.

Der Arschlecker

The so-called Arschlecker is particularly cheeky among all the masks. Yes, you read that correctly! The rather immoral stonemason figure can be discovered on a walk through the grove area.

Take a walk through Bamberg and discover the numerous works of art on facades, in buildings or as decorative doorknobs on residential buildings.
