Colmdorf is a district of Bayreuth on the eastern outskirts . Colmdorf was an independent municipality until 1939.

location

Colmdorf is elevated above the city on the northwest slope of the Eichelberg . Since its construction in 1937, the Berlin – Munich autobahn (today's A 9 ) has separated the district from the city center. This separation was underlined by the construction of noise barriers after the six-lane expansion around the turn of the millennium.

The Weiden – Bayreuth railway has been running through Colmdorf since 1863 , but there was never a train station in the village.

history

Colmdorf, then called Kolbendorf , was first mentioned in the Landbuch A of the Bayreuth office from 1386. As early as 1421 it was only called Colmdorf. The place north of Königsallee was predominantly agricultural, with farms, an inn and a small castle . On April 1, 1939 Colmdorf was incorporated into Bayreuth.

Current situation

The district has become a purely residential area, there is only one farm left. The historic town center consists largely of just one row of houses opposite the large park with the castle. In the mid-1950s, the first individual housing estates were built south of Königsallee. Twenty years later the construction of a row house settlement began there.

Rollwenzelei

At the eastern edge of the new development area, at the fork in the road towards the Hermitage and Aichig , is the former Rollwenzelei inn . It was made famous by the poet Jean Paul , who was a regular there from 1809 until his death in 1825. He wrote his most important works in his “poet's room”, which the landlady had set up for him. The room was renovated from 2009 to 2010 and can be visited.
