The heritage site of Bam-berg is situated on the bank of the river Regnitz in Franconia and is close to its confluence with the river Main. Unesco says, ‘From the 10th century onwards, Bamberg became an important link with the Slav peoples, especially those of Poland and Pomerania. During its period of greatest prosperity, from the 12th century onwards, …this town strongly influenced northern Germany and Hungary. …(it) was the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany….’

This southern Germany town in the north of Bavaria, scholars think, was home of the Babenberg family that finds first mentioned in 902 A.D. Monks of the Benedictine Fulda Abbey, and spiritual authority of the Diocese of Wurz-berg and Eichstatt are indicative of the ancient base of the Bam-berg which is near to Michaels-berg and Holy See.

The interesting link of this name Bam is that it not only refers to Bam/and Bamiyan in Afghanistan but also to one of the Five Books of Torah which is known as Bamidhar. Unfortunately, on English translation this became ‘Numbers’ for biblical scholars.

Babenberg family and Bamberg are two different names and own two different lines of history though belonged to one stock of the geographical plain. While Baben-berg refers to ancient Babylon, Bam marks the spiritual link of its time with the Baben-berg royal family. It pinpoints the Sage Bamadeva of Indian puranic tradition; Babana/Bamana/Bimbadhar/and Family at Pomp refer to ‘Bimba’ means ‘Image’.(or Prati–bimba).
