Gold rush in Bamberg: Discover the gold vault until November 28th!

In the turbulent times in which we live, gold plays an increasingly important role as a safe investment. This is also evident not least in the current traveling exhibition “Gold Tresor Experience”, which can be seen at the VR Bank Bamberg-Forchheim until November 28, 2025. This is where interest in gold is rekindled: the exhibition features interactive exhibits, information boards and even replicas of gold coins. Visitors also have the opportunity to win one of a total of ten grams of gold through a quiz, which further arouses curiosity about the precious metal. As [Wiesentbote](https://www.wiesentbote.de/2025/11/09/ exhibition-erlebnis-gold-tresor-in-der-vr-bank-bamberg-forchheim/) reports, the aim of the exhibition is to illustrate the fascination and value of gold as protection against inflationary risks.

Especially the findings from theGold Study 2024 from Reisebank AG show that the golden metal is very popular in Germany. Almost 28 million Germans now own a total of 5,229 tons of investment gold. Almost 90 percent of gold owners are satisfied with their investment. This study shows that the majority of gold buyers are holding on to their holdings despite rising prices and even plan to continue purchasing gold.

Gold as protection against inflation

Recent market developments give gold a special meaning: According to the study, 80 percent of gold owners want to keep their gold. Even if the sales figures show an upward trend, the numbers of purchases and sales are balanced. The value of physical investment gold in German households is around 315 billion euros. This is primarily due to the high level of satisfaction among gold owners, who see their collection of coins and bars as stable in value and protective against inflation.

Another interesting aspect of the study is the increase in the number of buyers. Over 4.4 percent of those surveyed invested in gold for the first time in 2023, with the average amount that flowed into this valuable material being around 4,764 euros. Seven-thirds of gold buyers intend to continue investing in gold, which underlines the appreciation and trust in this precious metal.

A look into the future

Increasing uncertainty and concerns about rising inflation are increasing confidence in gold as a stable value. This trend shows how important gold has become not only for financial security, but also for people's general sense of security. As Reisebank summarizes, an increase in gold ownership has still been observed since 2021 as many people convert their liquid assets into gold.

With the “Gold Tresor Experience” exhibition, VR Bank Bamberg-Forchheim has taken a vivid step to bring people closer to the fascinating topic of gold. Whether you want to invest in gold yourself or just admire the items on display, your curiosity is definitely piqued and the experience is open to anyone interested until November 28th.
