history

Laineck on the Riediger map from 1745
Settlement houses from 1932/33 on Bühlweg

Laineck is probably older than the city of Bayreuth itself. Nevertheless, the place has hardly any architectural relics worth mentioning, and until recently it had no church of its own. In 1419 the place was named "Leneck" in the fief book of Burgrave Johann III. mentioned. From 1875 to 1961 the population tripled from 623 to 1955 people.

In 1932/33, the small settlement project "Laineck settlement for working-class families" was implemented at the western end of the village with funds from the Reichsheimstätten Act . There, mainly for families of craftsmen, small settlement houses with living space of less than 65 square meters, still without a toilet, were built. The area for the settlement was spun off from the community in 1933 and added to the city of Bayreuth, followed by the area of ​​the then airfield in 1939.

On May 1, 1972, Laineck was finally incorporated into Bayreuth, which among other things led to the renaming of several streets.

description

Laineck Castle

The place consists of the two parts Oberend and Unterend, which were north and south of the Döhlauer trench. This artificial canal branches off from the Steinach and supplied the Brandenburg pond in nearby Sankt Georgen . Unterend is considered to be the historical center of the village and has largely retained its village character. This is also where the castle, which has been occupied since the 14th century, is a former manor that later served as a poor house and workers' residence and which currently houses a kindergarten. Not far from there was the Lower Mill , which was demolished in 1967. To the west of the castle, single and multi-family houses predominate, which were built from the 1950s, there is also a Catholic church. The Lohengrin Therme borehole is located on the road to Rodersberg , where 20,000-year-old healing water is extracted from a depth of 1,122 meters.

The fulling mill is located in the valley floor on the southern edge of the district . It was laid out as a marble mill before 1728 and is still in operation as a cutting mill . The Laineck stop on the Bayreuth – Warmensteinach railway line, established in 1896, is located on the northern edge of the district. Part of the development on the nearby Lainecker Strasse dates from this time, mainly residential buildings for workers in the flax spinning mill in Friedrichsthal .

Oberend is up the slope, it cannot be clearly separated from the Friedrichsthal district. This is where the Friedrichsthal street begins, the Friedrichsthal train station is also in Laineck-Oberend. The new fire station and the Protestant church are located on Warmensteinacher Strasse.

For reasons of noise protection , the A 9 , located directly at the Laineck settlement, was enclosed over a length of approx. 325 meters according to the plans of Eberhard Schunck .

traffic

Laineck stop

The main axis and northern boundary is the Warmensteinacher Straße, which lost its function as an arterial road into the Fichtelgebirge after the construction of the bypass road . The train stops at Laineck and Friedrichsthal are served every hour by trains on the Bayreuth– Weidenberg route. The city buses on VGN line 301 run every 20 minutes with gaps of up to 38 minutes.

Airfield

To the north of the railway line to Warmensteinach was the Laineck airfield on Bindlacher Allee, which was inaugurated on August 2, 1925 with an air day. The facility, already known as the “airport” in 1930, raised hopes of improving the city's location away from the main railway lines. In the year mentioned, 119 incoming and 82 outgoing “air passengers” were counted.

Since 1929 it housed the propeller plane of the Bayreuth aviator Lisl Schwab , who achieved national fame as a parachutist. For flying Bayreuth prominence also belonged NS - Gauleiter and Minister of Culture Hans Schemm , who in 1935 was killed there at the start. Adolf Hitler landed as a festival guest with a personal pilot in a Ju 52 that was waiting for him during his stays there.

The short history of the Laineck airfield ended with the Second World War . The area was initially used for the construction of a refugee camp and later by the Bundeswehr (Margrave barracks ). The hangar was demolished in the early 1960s. The southern part of the former airfield houses the Sankt Georgen Ost industrial park .
