Tips from the Community
Next to the tower is a small, abandoned, and rotten wooden shelter. It protected me from the rain after 12 km and provided the only place to sit so far.

On the Marienaltar to the right of the choir there is a Pietà, which comes from the Liebfrauenkapelle in Widdern and came to Bamberg in 1617. The statue was already the destination of pilgrimages in Widdern and was venerated from 1625 in the predecessor of today's Martinskirche, the old St. Martin's Church.

The Friesener Warte is always worth a hike, if only because of the breathtaking view that the high plateau offers.

The organ was built in 1894 by G. F. Steinmeyer (Oettingen) with 38 stops on mechanical cone chests (with Barker machines) and pneumatic stop action. In 1934, the organ building company replaced the tracker actions with electropneumatic ones and added a swell mechanism to the instrument. The disposition was slightly redesigned in the sense of the organ movement. In 1938 the instrument was expanded again by the organ building company Hindelang, Ebenhofen. In the years 1999 to 2000 the instrument was extensively restored by the organ building company Hermann Eule (Bautzen) and restored to its 1894 condition. The historical pipe material is largely available. Only six registers had to be reconstructed. The cone chests are played mechanically. The tone actions are supported by reconstructed Barker machines. The free-standing console based on Steinmeyer's model and the organ case were also reconstructed. The instrument is now equipped with an electronic typesetting system Source: Wikipedia

The first Carmelite monastery with a church stood here from 1248 to 1589. Under Prince Bishop Gottfried von Aschhausen, the Jesuits were called to Bamberg and in 1613 they took over the clerical seminary/college. On August 16, 1686, the foundation stone for the new church was laid, and on May 17, 1693, Prince Bishop Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg consecrated the church "To the Holy Name of Jesus". The plans come from Georg Dientzenhofer.
