Die Bamberger Gärtner. Innen- und Außensicht einer städtischen Berufsgruppe.

The article reports on a historical study of gardeners and their work in Bamberg, Germany, undertaken as part of the celebratory naming of Bamberg as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1993. The time period celebrated by the award covers the beginning of the 18th century to the present, although Bamberg's gardening and viticultural fame and legacy date to the Middle Ages. The author aims to show the effects of modernization and globalization on Bamberg's historic gardening practice. The gardeners' traditions as an organized guild or association are also examined.
