Bauhaus Architecture in Glass: Discover the Glass Cathedral Amberg
The public tour of the Glass Cathedral Amberg leads into an extraordinary chapter of architectural and industrial history. Between 1968 and 1970, the only building by Walter Gropius in the Upper Palatinate was created here and it is also the last work of the internationally significant architect and Bauhaus founder.
A Space Between Architecture, Light, and Industry
In the exhibition hall of the Glass Cathedral, visitors experience a vivid journey from the beginnings of the building in the 1960s to the present day. The tour combines local history, Bauhaus modernity, and the industrial significance of glass into a unique discovery experience.
Walter Gropius in Amberg
The Glass Cathedral represents the clear formal language of modernity and the connection of architecture and production. As the current Kristall-Glasfabrik Amberg GmbH, the site links cultural heritage with vibrant industrial history. The tour makes the design and historical contexts understandable and opens a well-founded entry to Gropius' last work.
Important Notes for the Visit
A reservation is absolutely necessary. No ticket sales take place on-site at the glassworks; already purchased tickets cannot be returned. The event is partially accessible and is recommended for visitors aged 14 and older.

The tour offers a cultural enrichment for all who wish to experience Bauhaus, industrial architecture, and the history of glass in an authentic original space. Secure your spot in time and discover the Glass Cathedral Amberg with its architectural, historical, and industrial facets.
