The interior of the 14th century Dominican church is used as an assembly hall at the University of Bamberg. In the 1980s measures for improvement of the acoustics were taken. The side-aisles and the sanctuary were clad with a 5m high layer of wood-fiber panels on a wooden sub-structure. A gallery was erected in the rear part of the nave. The historical frescoes were partly covered by paint and are being restored. A complete restoration is not possible, and currently only parts of the frescoes are being brought to the surface.
