Ensembles
Ensemble old town Weißenstadt
The ensemble ( location ) includes the center of the small town with an extensive, largely regular floor plan northeast of the Eger. The parish church and market in the center of the settlement are in an exposed, almost spur-like location, while the area to the west, south and east of these locations slopes steeply to the river valley. The settlement was first mentioned in a document in 1299 as Weißenkirchen in the area of Rudolfstein's rule. With the elevation to the city in 1348 by the Nuremberg burgraves , the place name changed to the current name. The essential elements of the regular city structure with a main axis, orthogonally branching side streets and the market square are of medieval origin. A regional specialty was the city wall ring with a moat. The economic basis of the country town formed up to the 19th century the ore mining, the Zeidlerei and the forest beekeeping. As part of the Margraviate of Bayreuth, Weißenstadt came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1792 and to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810. The parish church with its late Gothic tower stands out as a dominant feature from the surrounding buildings. This urban spatial effect is reinforced by the background of the surrounding mountain ranges of the Fichtelgebirge. The houses in the area of the market square with characteristic slate roofs, most of which still have the small standing dormers, are relatively well preserved. Marktplatz and Kirchenlamitzer Straße form the backbone of the development in the north-south relation, from which three streets branch off orthogonally to the west and east, albeit offset from one another. Several small cross alleys subdivide the building blocks. The cityscape is characterized by buildings from the early 19th century in a highly standardized, closed design. After fires in the 17th century, a city fire destroyed 195 houses, 30 barns and 75 outbuildings in 1823. The reconstruction according to the overall plan by Kreisbauinspektor Tauber largely used the existing foundation walls, on which largely standardized type designs were implemented. The massive two-story houses on the eaves vary in their access width. Its appearance has retained its Biedermeier character of the reconstruction, especially in the western part of the ensemble. Kirchenlamitzer Strasse and the wide side streets to the west of it (Ehrhard-Ackermann-Strasse, Lange Strasse, Zeller Strasse) have avenue planting. The outskirts of the old town are characterized by the rows of barns built after 1823 for fire protection reasons outside the former wall ring, which indicate the historical agriculture close to the city. The barns on Gartenstrasse and Peuntstrasse, together with mostly two-story houses, form the historic outskirts. As with the rows of barns on Kirchenlamitzer Straße, Am Ehrenhain, Am Stadtgraben, Bayreuther Straße and Mühlgraben, these are solid buildings made of quarry stone, some of which are still provided with slate roofs and gate frames made of granite. File number: E-4-79-166-1.

Remarks
- ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The property of a monument - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the Monument Atlas and the entry in the Bavarian Monument List. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
