Glass Cathedral Amberg: Experience Bauhaus History Up Close
This public tour opens the view to one of the most striking places in Amberg: the Glass Cathedral by Walter Gropius. In the exhibition room, visitors can expect a moderated multimedia show that traces the development of the building from its beginnings in the 1960s to the present day.
Bauhaus Modernism on the Eastern City Edge
The Glass Cathedral, built between 1968 and 1970, is considered the only building by Walter Gropius in the Upper Palatinate and at the same time the last work of the Bauhaus founder. This historical context makes the city tour a strong discovery experience for architecture enthusiasts, cultural travelers, and anyone who wants not only to hear about local history but also to feel it.
Multimedia, Materiality, and Industrial Perspective
Inside, the tour connects architectural history with glass production on site. Topics range from Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus to the connection with Philip Rosenthal, as well as construction, functionality, and technical innovations. This creates a well-founded insight into a building that uniquely combines industrial heritage and modernity.
Practical Information for Participation

The public tour is aimed at guests who want to experience culture, architecture, and urban history in a compact form.
