More on Freising
Freising is said to be one of the oldest settlements in Bavaria. Archaeological excavations have revealed settlements going back to the Bronze Age. However, there is no evidence of continuous habitation of the area until the 8th century, when Saint Corbinian settled there.
The symbol of the city is that of a saddled bear. According to legend, Bishop Arbeo ordered the bear to carry his luggage over the Alps after it killed his packhorse. Since the early days, Freising was a religious center until the secularization of 1803, when the Roman Catholic Church lost most of its properties and authority over the city. Nevertheless, its cathedral remains one of the major landmarks of the city.
