Walter Gropius in Amberg: The Glass Cathedral as a Living Discovery Experience
This public tour offers a view into one of the most prominent industrial and architectural monuments of the Upper Palatinate: the Glass Cathedral in Amberg. Between light, space, and glass, the story of the building designed by Walter Gropius unfolds in a moderated multimedia show, from the beginnings of the 1960s to the present day.
Bauhaus Architecture You Can Touch
The Glass Cathedral is considered the only building by Walter Gropius in the Upper Palatinate and also his last work. This is where the special fascination of this city tour lies: here, visitors encounter not just an extraordinary building, but a chapter of local history that impressively connects Bauhaus ideas, functionality, and industrial form culture.
Moderated Multimedia Show with Depth
In the exhibition space, guests experience a curated journey through the creation, construction, and use of the Glass Cathedral. The focus is on Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus, the connection to Philip Rosenthal, technical innovations, and glass production in the building itself. This makes the tour a cultural enrichment for architecture enthusiasts, design lovers, and anyone who wants to discover Amberg from a new perspective.
Exclusive Access with Limited Accessibility
The exhibition space is only accessible as part of a tour. The atmosphere remains intentionally intimate, and access is limited in terms of accessibility. For visitors, this means a compact, focused experience with a clear emphasis on the building and its stories. Booking is required; spontaneous visits are not offered.
