Beeindruckende fast lebensgroße mittelalterliche Skulptur im schönen Bamberger Dom. Der anmutige Reiter ist ein wenig geheimnisvoll. Weder Künstler noch die dargestellte Person sind bekannt. Ungewöhnlich ist, dass eine ähnliche Figur im französischen Reims zu finden ist.

Eine der bekanntesten Skulpturen Deutschlands.

Wenn man schon in Bamberg ist, beim Reiter sollte man Besuch machen. David & Erika ☆☆☆
