The Domplatz is certainly the most impressive place in Bamberg. This square with the architectural styles from the Romanesque to the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo illustrates the history of all past epochs up close.

The Domplatz was called Hofplatz or Burgplatz until secularization. Only the small area in front of the Kapitelhaus was called Domplatz. Then the new Bavarian rulers named the entire area in honor of the then Queen Karoline in Karolinenplatz. Only after the end of the monarchy did the name Domplatz gradually become established and in 1949 it became the official name of the square.
The slope of the square only arose as a result of the lowering of the level of the Domplatz in 1777 and 1778, which made stairs to the portals necessary. This lowering of the level was necessary in order to create direct access to Bamberg city center. Before that, the gate at the so-called "gateman" was the only access to the Domberg. For the two new approaches from the east, two Canon Curia had to give way. Since then, a wall has formed the eastern end of the cathedral square in its place.
The renaissance buildings of the old court and the baroque ensemble of the new residence are located on the cathedral square. With the Romanesque and Gothic components of the cathedral, you have a view of four stylistic epochs of art at the same time. bamberger-dom.de/sonstiges Umgebung-des-doms/domplatz
