Bamberg
Bamberg is a small village, near the south centre of the Township. Like Wellesley, Bamberg, then named Weimar was established when squatters such as the Moser and Kroetsch families settled the area. By 1904, the village had two general stores, several businesses, a brewery, and post office. It was renamed Bamberg to honour the German city of Bamberg, as suggested by Ferdinand Walter, the first postmaster.
The village contains some fine examples of early stone construction, in several beautifully-proportioned smaller homes.
Hessian Lutherans settled along the Fifth Line or Hessen Strassse near Bamberg, if the eastern section, many arriving through Heidelberg. A memorial stone in the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery lists the names of the early pioneers buried there.
