The second cathedral (petrol cathedral)

At Easter 1080 the party men of emperor Heinrich IVTH to a Synode in the Bamberger cathedral met. When in the Easter eight of the following yearly roof and towers burned down, the trailers of Pope Gregor VII. saw a punishment of God therein because of their attitude in the Investiturstreit. (Heinrich IV. was the emperor, the late the course after Canossa to begin had.)

From the aboveground parts of the Heinrichsdoms hardly something is received, because in the year 1081 the cathedral up to the foundation walls already burned down, was however up to the year 1087 again so far developed that a Synode could take place there. Bishop Rupert did not have however in the time of the Investiturstreits the energy, more than the absolutely necessary re-establishment work makes to leave. These work only left of his successor, bishop Otto accomplish. Otto was bewandert in building questions, because it had bereist the change of the Speyerer of cathedral led. Now the cathedral received a new floor, which became of the fire damaged columns with stucco verziert. In addition Otto let the east choir put more highly and to cover the roofs up with the expensive copper, in order to reduce the danger of fire. Beyond that the tower crosses and the Turmspitzen were gilded.

How does one have this second cathedral to introduce From the liturgical use hardly something is delivered. The few reports correspond however to the usual service orders of the late Middle Ages.

The medieval cathedral was a place of different use ranges and served exclusively the cathedral chapter and the Domvikaren. The cathedral religiousness used the east choir for the several times daily taking place hour prayers as well as for services. The choir ranges were exclusive space parts, which were separated by three to four meters high Lettner and which protected clergymen against disturbances. Prozessionen within the cathedral were likewise part of the Domliturgie. Occasionally the removals of the cathedral led by the cloister into the Sepultur, or from the cathedral to the step Hans church, the Jakob church, the Gangolfskirche and to the Benediktinerkloster sank Michael.

The third cathedral (Eckbertdom)

After a renewed large fire in the year 1185 the building and begun only 1215 was torn off with a new direction toward Veranlassung by bishop Eckbert von Andechs Meranien (1203-1237). This third, larger cathedral became to 6. May 1237, which birthday emperor Heinrichs II., solemn geweiht.

With the new building the holyness of the place should be protected. Therefore it was intended also at the same place. In order to be able to celebrate further services, abort and new building were so co-ordinated that area for solemn services was present always in the cathedral. Around 1215 with the abort in the east and the abort material resulting thereby was begun was again inserted. Since the building conclusion 13. Century at the architecture of the cathedral nothing substantial more was changed. Differently the development ran on the inside.

Emperor Heinrich had been already holy-spoken in the year 1146. Now bishop Timo exerted itself for the fact that also empress Kunigunde was kanonisiert. This holy speaking found to 29. March 1200 instead of and was remarkable, because in the Middle Ages few women were holy-spoken only completely, who were not martyr inside. Timo wanted to let take place this solemn event supposed in the new cathedral and was probably at this time the Ostapsis already so far posed that an altar could be set up in honours Kunigundes. Of it today still another small Rundfenster reminds at the George choir, behind which probably the Kunigundes was.

The Bamberger king murder of the yearly 1208 stopped the construction work at the cathedral for some years. Philipp of Swabia was murdered on 21 June 1208, briefly before its emperor choice, in the old person yard attitude by the Bavarian Pfalzgrafen Otto VIII. by Wittelsbach. In the annals of Marbach for the year 1208 it means:

"“"… as the aforementioned Pfalzgraf, as it had decided already long the bad That in its heart, came along, inlet desired and received. Here it pulled the sword, by placing itself as if it played the king in the area of the neck equal a Possenreisser, wounded however at resulting opportunity and immediately the escape seized. And in consequence of this Verwundung the same lost the life"…"”

Bishop Ekbert fled to king Andreas II., its brother-in-law, to Hungary, because he became for bird-free explained. It owed its rapid rehablitation in such a way to its diplomatic employment and could it 1212 to its diocese already return.

When years were taken up later the work on the cathedral again, the cathedral chapter decided for a change in architecture. This change of style is probably connected with the Bamberger at that time bishop Ekbert von Andechs Meranien and its international relations. Its sister Agnes lived with the French king Philippe II. - Augusts together. This may explain, why around the year 1220 in Bamberg a building hut became active, which was familiar with the current French art development.

The Erfurter of yearbooks announces to the year 1237:

"“Hoc anno pridie Nonas Maii in Babenberc dedicatum est monasterium off his episcopis: Erbipolense, Eystatense, Nuwenburgense, Merseburgense; domino dad ibidem magnam faciente indulgentiam."”

(Translation: "“In this year on the day before the Nonen of May in Bamberg geweiht of (the following) bishops: the the the Naumburger, the Merseburger. The Mr. Papst had granted for this a large drain. "”)

Quoted after Christian "“The Bamberger emperor cathedral"”

Is remarkable, which meaning loss the cathedral had suffered with this consecration. 1012, with the first Domweihe 45 Patriarchen, archbishops and bishops to guest, then the source now only four Konsekratoren mentions goods.

Barockisierung

After the end of the war the Barockisierung of the cathedral took place under prince bishop Melchior Otto Voit from Salzburg. The renewal of the catholic church, which proceeded from the council with Trient, was expressed artistically in the baroque style. The Bamberger cathedral chapter was however first in the conversion of the new art current, but in the year 1678 nearly all 30 altars were barockisiert.

Against the common opinion the cathedral was completely colored painted in the Middle Ages. But contamination due to candle soot and dust, as well as peeling color made again and again new painting necessary. Therefore nothing more is received from original painting up to few remainders. Also the changing aesthetic conceptions contributed to a constant transformation. In with difficulty accessible places remainders were determined by up to twelve painting lying one above the other.

At the right Kapitell of the northern dazzling arcade in the east choir the layer structure of the colors was analyzed. The following layers were determined:

1. Stone
2. knows (priming)
3. green
4. Revised version knows (priming)
5. Ocher
6. Revised version knows (priming)
7. bright ochers

To 10. May 1611 decided to be supposed to become nit geweisst the cathedral chapter that "“abraded and renews the stones, but"”. A drastic decision was removing the colored Glasfenster. It is called literal in the letter that "“waiters the windows at city are verneuert dess colored and geschmelzten with bright glass"” to be supposed.
