This public tour invites you to an extraordinary discovery experience in the Glass Cathedral Amberg. Between 1968 and 1970, the only building by Walter Gropius in the Upper Palatinate was created here, and it is also his last realized work. Today, the tour takes you deep into a chapter of German industrial and Bauhaus history that impressively combines architecture, material, and contemporary spirit.

The Glass Cathedral is not just a mere monument, but a space where function, form, and light interact in a special way. Those who attend the tour experience the clear signature of Walter Gropius in the context of modern industrial architecture that continues to fascinate to this day.
