history

Until the 19th century

Neudrossenfeld was first mentioned in a document in 1260 in the Langenstadt Treaty. In 1285 Drossenfeld was a parish with its own parish church (consecrated to St. James). The Burgraves of Nuremberg ( Hohenzollern ) bought the Kulmbacher Land in 1340 and ruled the Drossenfeld manor (until 1806). Until 1429 the parish of Drossenfeld was under the patronage of the Langheim monastery . In 1430 it was pillaged by the Hussites . 1494-1584 the "Burckgut Drosenfelt" belonged to the dynasty of Wirsberg , which the Marquis I. Georg Friedrich sold. The margraves then had it managed by tenants. In 1525, during the Peasants' War , the Drossenfeld peasantry remained rather passive. In 1528 the Reformation was introduced in Neudrossenfeld.

In the years 1553 and 1554 it was destroyed during the Albertine War. Looting from 1632 in the Thirty Years' War and the plague depopulated the whole area. Margrave Christian Ernst von Bayreuth sold Neudrossenfeld in 1689 to the bourgeois judiciary Johann Wolfgang Franke. In 1732 almost all of Neudrossenfeld burned down. In 1752 the estate came partly as an inheritance and partly through purchase to the imperial count Philipp Andreas von Ellrodt . The new owner and his son Friedrich expanded the castle (architect: Carl von Gontard ) and built the new large Margrave Church (Dreifaltigkeitskirche) from 1753 to 1760. The terraced gardens, which were famous at the time, were laid out.

In 1775, after the death of Philip von Ellrodt and his two sons in 1763, his widow Drossenfeld could not hold on, the manor was sold to Georg Christoph von Reitzenstein . The property deteriorated and was sold to the bourgeoisie in 1809. Eight bourgeois owners followed over the next 200 years.

After the last Margrave Karl Alexander renounced the Principality of Kulmbach-Bayreuth in 1791 , it became Prussian in January 1792 . After the defeat of the Prussian army in the battle of Jena and Auerstedt , it was occupied by French troops in October 1806 and remained under French administration for four years. On June 30, 1810, the French army handed over Neudrossenfeld and the whole of the Bayreuth region to Bavaria, which had now become a kingdom and which the former principality had bought from Napoleon for 15 million francs .

20th century

Drossenfeld station around 1915

On June 26, 1909, the Bayreuth – Thurnau railway with the Drossenfeld (in Altdrossenfeld) and Neuenreuth stations was opened. Passenger traffic was discontinued on June 3, 1973, freight trains still came from Kulmbach via Thurnau until the end of 1982.

From mid-June 1944 to April 1945, one of the numerous branch offices of the Flossenbürg concentration camp existed on the area of ​​the New Cotton Spinning Mill in Bayreuth . There they worked on optical control systems for guided weapons. After a bomb attack on April 11, 1945, its civil scientists, engineers and craftsmen were relocated to Neudrossenfeld Castle with their tools, machines and documents. After it was captured by the US Army , the research there continued until October 1945 under Werner Rambauske as head of the "Institute Teleoptics".
