Bamberg - Cathedral
Since 1007, when Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II (Henry II) made Bamberg the seat of a diocese, the Bamberg Cathedral ("Bamberger Dom St. Peter und St. Georg") is the seat of the Archbishop of Bamberg.
The first cathedral on this place, founded in 1004 by Heinrich II and named "Heinrichsdom", got consecrated already in 1012. This building got destroyed by fire in 1085. Around 1215 the construction of the building seen here started. It was commisioned by Bishop Eckbert von Andechs-Meranien, brother of Hedwig von Andechs (aka Hedwig of Silesia). The new cathedral consecrated in 1237.
Not buried in the tomb, seen before, but kept under a glas-reliquary are the skulls of St. Heinrich and
St. Kunigunde, also known as Heinrich II, Holy Roman Emperor (+1024) and his spouse Empress Kunigunde von Luxemburg (+1033).
