Bamberg's work of art: Heirs and Mayor Starke pull together!
Bamberg active: Focus on dialogue about art and events
In an important meeting on October 27, 2025, a conversation took place between Mayor Andreas Starke and the heirs of the late artist Barbara Bollerhoff. The main topic was the impressive Bamberg lettering, which was displayed on Maxplatz in 2023 and 2024. Four crucial points regarding the future of the work of art were determined in a constructive exchange. wiesentbote.de reports that securing the sign outside is planned for next October to protect it from the elements. The possibility of professional restoration of the original is also being examined.
A cost estimate for an alternative design as a steel structure is also on the agenda. Interestingly, a fundraising campaign will be launched to finance this implementation. Mayor Starke expressed his gratitude for the constructive conversation, which underlined the common goal of those involved. The general conditions should be clarified by the next meeting of the Cultural Senate on November 13th, where the decision to purchase a different lettering could possibly be repealed.

Under the title “Human Condition – Fabric of Truth – Fabric of Lies,” the exhibition is dedicated to central questions of human existence. From September 20th to November 2nd, 2025, the topic of democratic values, such as freedom and human rights, will be addressed by the artists Teresa Casanueva, CROW and Thomas Michel. The opening took place on September 19th and entry is free during opening hours, which are Fridays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m kunstraum-jetzt.de.
Accompanying the exhibition there is an extensive program that includes numerous events, from a philosophical panel talk to artistic performances.
