Dominikanerkloster Bamberg, Medieval Dominican monastery in Bamberg, Germany.

The Dominican monastery complex stretches along the Regnitz River, featuring a church, cloister with 42 burial plates, and extensive convent buildings spanning multiple centuries.

Founded in 1310 by Prince-Bishop Lavant, the monastery expanded through land acquisitions between 1337 and 1340, allowing for substantial architectural developments.

The monastery church now serves as an auditorium for the University of Bamberg, while maintaining its historical religious architectural elements and burial monuments.

Located at coordinates 49.8923, 10.8849, the former monastery currently houses the State Building Authority in its convent tract.

The monastery's cloister, constructed between 1460 and 1463, contains dendrochronologically dated timber that precisely determines its construction period.
