ERBA site - former area of the flower show 2012

In 2012 Bamberg was host for the Bavarian Garden Show

The so called ERBA site was the location of Bamberg's Bavarian Garden Show in 2012. More than 1 million visitors came to see the flowers and gardens and a fantastic conversion of a former industrial site to a completely new park at the northern tip of Bamberg's island district.
The park is situated about 1.5 miles from the town centre in the north-west of Bamberg. The large red-brick factory complex, which is now a student accommodation, was a cotton spinning mill and was originally built in the mid-19th century. Various buildings still remind visitors of the history of the grounds. Especially the five great playgrounds built on the occasion of the Garden Show in 2012 are a big attraction for children.
