history

Glassworks belonged to the rule of the Zollern burgraves of Nuremberg, who later became the margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The burgraves and their successors enfeoffed various noble families with glassworks, including the lords of Wirsberg from 1426 to 1575 and the lords of Lüschwitz from 1575 to 1728. The traveling iron woodcuts from 1523 depict the persecution of helpers of the robber baron Hans Thomas von Absberg , some Family members of the Wirsberger from Glashütten are considered followers of the Absberg. The office of the Prussian principality of Bayreuth , which had been Prussian since 1792 , fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and became part of Bavaria in 1810 .
