Bambergerhof near Scheibbs, today Zehenthof, where Gustav Bamberger lived and died

By 1893 at the latest he was the owner of the Zehenthof near Scheibbs . From 1900 he worked as a conservator and architect in Krems an der Donau , where he carried out public buildings such as the cemetery chapel, a mortuary and in 1912 the reorganization of the municipal museum. In 1902 he was involved in the opening exhibition of the Vienna Hagenbund . From 1900 to 1922 he became a member of the Hagenbund. Museums such as the Municipal Museum in Krems, the Lower Austrian State Museum but also private collections are in possession of important works, mostly landscape motifs from Bamberger. In 1923 the city of Krems awarded Gustav Bamberger an honorary citizen . The city named “Gustav-Bamberger-Straße” in honor of his honor.

Bamberger spent the last years of his life in the Bambergerhof, today Zehenthof in Grafenmühl near Scheibbs. Even the Franconian half-timbered architecture of the courtyard, which is atypical for the region, suggests the painter.

He is the son of the pathologist Heinrich von Bamberger and brother of the internist Eugen Bamberger .
