history

Brewhouse

Oberkonnersreuth was probably founded at the beginning of the 13th century by the Bamberg Cathedral propst Poppo von Andechs-Meranien . In 1231 he donated the “nova villa apud Baireute” (new village near Bayreuth) “in confinio civitatis Beirruth” (in the marking of the city of Bayreuth) to the cathedral in Bamberg . The residents had to pay an annual fee as protection money to the Bayreuth mayor .

Until the 1930s, the place was an agricultural village without its own church. During the Wilhelmine era , the former Schaller brewery (formerly Friedel) built the brewhouse that dominates the place . In 1939, the district of Kreuzstein bordering the city and the Frankengut (until then Oberkonnersreuth 14), and in 1972 the village of Oberkonnersreuth were incorporated into Bayreuth.

description

Today's Oberkonnersreuth mainly consists of post-war buildings, around the old town center single-family houses from the post-war period dominate. The new development area Storchennest, located below on the slope, west of the railway line, dates from the 1990s. An industrial park has been established in the Pfaffenfleck area at the Bayreuth Süd motorway junction .

The natural monument “Victory Oak” shaped the old village center . Due to pest infestation, the several hundred year old tree was felled in mid-December 2019 and replaced by a new plant.
