history

Until 1524 the Saale formed the border of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Kulmbach near Saalenstein. In 1541 the place Saalenstein was desolate . Seven houses were built there by 1654. Saalenstein was a Brandstein fiefdom until 1850 , when it was replaced and became free property. In 1811 there were 10 houses in Saalenstein and in 1928 11 houses with 71 inhabitants.

When in 1830 the diplomat Johann Gottlieb Eduard von Stainlein (1785–1833), who came from Hof , was raised to the rank of count of the Kingdom of Bavaria with his descendants , they were awarded the additional title of Saalenstein . The son Ludwig von Stainlein-Saalenstein (1819–1867) gained some fame as a composer.

Culture and sights

  • The high arches of the listed A72 motorway bridge span the Saale valley near Saalenstein. Winter opportunities for bats and nesting sites for kestrels have been integrated into the structure. However, the loud noise from the motorway bridge disturbs the romance of the Saalaue, praised by Jean Paul .
