Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This show tells the history of Bamberg from since it was founded to after WW2, using shadows, light and sound effects. It was run by one man who seemingly controlled everything by himself. The show is set in one of the oldest buildings in the city, so the atmosphere is quite nice. I speak a little German, but was able to more or less follow along. Even though I didn't understand everything, I found it a nice experience and the man's dedication impressive. Smoked beer was offered during the show. It lasted around 1h 15min.

Whoever wants to get to know the epic history of this beautiful town should definitely take a step into the oldest chamber of Bamberg. A theatre of light and shadow, laugh and wonder, truth and myth.
I can assure you, that you won't be disappointed. We were heading for the dome which was closed early so we coincidentally found this little chapel close by with this tremendously, unexpecting great entertainment of shadow play.

This looked very interesting, but we couldn't find out much about it, so we stopped by the Bamberg Tourist Office. Unfortunately the Theater only gives performances in German, never any other language. My husband understands a fair amount of German but the Tourist Office didn't recommend we attend; a very good knowledge of German is required to enjoy the story.
In general we loved Bamberg but found most tourist attractions were only in German. Walking tours-German, Boat ride-German, Night watchman tour-German. Audio guides are available in English for a self guided tour.
