Germany Mitoraj Skulptur in Bamberg

On the east side of the Lower Bridge, above the *Kranen* – the former commercial harbor and fish market – stands the sculpture *Centurione I* by contemporary artist Igor Mitoraj, funded by citizen donations. Set against the backdrop of the Old Town Hall on the bridge, the former fishermen’s settlement “Little Venice,” the *Leinritt* on the western riverbank, and Michaelsberg, it creates a particularly striking contrast. The artist’s heads, torsos, and figures are rooted in the classical beauty of antiquity, yet they deliberately set themselves apart through intentional injuries and damage.

Wide angle and structure in the sky.

10-minute walk from Bamberg train station.
