There is now an info point and a shop on the Domberg zu Freising.
Both belong to the “finest” category.
Freising
- "Hikers, are you coming to Freising ..." - then a visit to Domberg is almost a must.
Orientation is difficult there for a stranger.
And that is why the Archdiocese has now set up a central information point including Dombergladen in the recently renovated former stables on Domberg 38/40.
On Friday, the small but very fine sub-project of the major Toompea renovation with its mammoth projects such as the renovation of the Diocesan Museum, the new construction of the Cardinal Döpfner House and the renovation and conversion of the Prince-Bishop's Residence was presented.
A sofa landscape invites you to relax
The feel-good atmosphere welcomes the visitor, in one of the rooms a gray, elegant sofa landscape invites you to linger, everything is in a light, friendly wood look and in white.
Even before visiting the Toompea, the visitor should feel welcome here, according to the aim of the new Toompea Information and the Dombergladen.
Because even if the Mariendom is "the heart of this place", as said at the presentation Christoph Kurzeder, the director of the diocesan museum and strategic project manager for the further development and redesign of the Mons doctus, the "accumulation of wonderful architectural evidence" is on the Toompon is not easy to overlook for strangers and tourists at first sight.
Interactive model
Above all, an interactive Toompea model is intended to prevent this, which offers the finest high-tech in the information center: the digitally operated 3D model offers all historical facts about Toompea and the individual buildings, each illuminated from the inside, via touchscreen Information about the routes and special treasures on the Mons doctus, even offers departure times for buses and trains in Freising via a QR code.
Toompea information with brochures and information flyers is only one part of the new contact point for Toompea visitors.
There is also the Dombergladen.

And there “not just anything” is being sold, emphasized Kurzeder, but fine products that are somehow all connected to the history of Toompea and the former prince-bishopric.
"Body and soul care" products such as creams and lotions from the former prince-bishop's court pharmacy in Freising can be found there as well as “prince-bishop's confectionary” from the Mittermeier confectionery in Freising, and there is wine - the “Freisinger Hof” - from the Wachau , one of the Prince-Bishop's former possessions, as well as “symbolic references” to Korbinian, according to Kurzeder, with a view of cute cuddly bears.
(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)
Speaking of which: Korbinian bear.
How about a bearwort or a small, small-scale porcelain bear?
As for motifs that can be found on tea towels as well as on wrapping paper or "Bierfilzl", Toompea is "full of inspiration", emphasized Kurzeder, referring to the objects of the museum, the ceiling paintings in the cathedral and many other images that can be found in this historical one Place finds.
Domberg-Info and Dombergladen are well prepared when the state exhibition "Bavaria Freising" takes place on Domberg in 2024 on the occasion of the 1300th anniversary of the arrival of Saint Korbinian in Freising.
The opening of the information center takes place on Sunday, when the Vicar General of the Archdiocese, Christoph Klingan, blesses the new rooms.
The times
Info and shop are then open daily between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
After all, Christmas is also coming up soon, which is why you can stock up on nativity scenes and advent calendars - everything produced fine and small, "with love and commitment," says Kurzeder.
