At the time, the city was in the Free State of Bavaria (Freistaat Bayern), in Upper Franconia (Oberfranken), within the Weimar Republic. Today it is in Bavaria (Bayern), and its French name is the same as its German name. It comes from Babenburg (Babenberg), the castle of the Babenbergs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\"\u003eBamberg owes its glory to Emperor Henry II, who founded a bishopric there in 1007; the cathedral was consecrated in 1012. It houses the tomb of the emperor and that of Pope Clement II, the city's former bishop, who died in 1047, the only papal tomb preserved north of the Alps. Its old town, largely spared by war, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003ePlaces and districts shown:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eThe Neue Residenz\u003c\/strong\u003e - in April 1919, the proclamation of a council republic in Munich prompted the Bavarian government under Prime Minister Johannes Hoffmann to relocate to Bamberg, where the first cabinet meeting was held in the Residenz on April 12. It was in the city that Bavaria's first democratic constitution, known as the \"Bamberg Constitution,\" was signed on August 14, 1919.

The Ludwig Canal (Ludwig-Donau-Main-Kanal) begins in Bamberg, opened in 1846 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and runs to Kelheim on the Danube, with one hundred locks. The port quickly saw little traffic due to the low waters of the Main. In 1925, the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal project, launched in 1921, would not be completed until 1992.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eThe ERBA Spinning Mill in Gaustadt\u003c\/strong\u003e - the \"Vereinte Baumwoll-Industrie Erlangen-Bamberg A.G.\" is marked northwest on the map.

Built on the model of the one in Strasbourg, then the most modern in Germany, it opened on October 24, 1889.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eThe Railway Station and Its Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e - a vast railway junction occupies the northeast of the city.

The city limits are drawn in red, as are the public buildings, and a grid of red letters and numbers allows each location to be identified. It shows an airfield with its hangar, a Bayernwerk electrical substation, a cavalry barracks (that of the 17th Reiter Regiment), and a maneuver field.
