history

Sankt Johannis around 1850

Sankt Johannis is probably older than the city of Bayreuth. In 1441 a castle stable can be found in the area of ​​the corridor , which was rebuilt around 1451. The assumption that the place was once called Altentrebgast is possibly wrong. In 1557 Georg Imhof zu Sankt Johannis received the residence of Trebgast on the farm as a margravial fiefdom , in 1576 he called himself "Georg Imhoff zu Altentrebgast auf dem Hoff, now called Sanct Johannis". The parish village got its current name after the church was built in the mid-16th century.

The place consisted mainly of a manor and a few other small farms. With a strong commercial focus, it was a workers' village with mostly small houses without barns or stables. From 1846, many linen weavers commuted to the flax factory in nearby Friedrichsthal .

Small workers' houses were built along Sonntagstraße around 1900. In the immediate vicinity of the Eremitagepark , rental apartments were built in 1922, 1938–39 and 1965. In the 1970s, new residential areas were developed with the Ochsenhut and in the Gstöckig parcel above the river edge of the Red Main .

On April 1, 1939, the village of Sankt Johannis was incorporated into Bayreuth, 1048 residents became Bayreuth citizens. The then Mayor of Bayreuth Friedrich Kempfler wanted to upgrade the National Socialist Gau capital , which increased by 1,000 hectares . As a thank you, the people of Neu-Bayreuth - who were mainly part-time farmers - received a breeding bull as a gift.

  • Sankt Johannis Castle
In 1308 the castle was first mentioned as a ministerial seat. In 1616 it came into the possession of the margraves , and from 1664 the associated forest area became a fenced hunting and zoo. The building came into private ownership in the middle of the 18th century and was used from 1845 as "Schiedel brewery property". Since 1957 it has been an agricultural operation of the Bayreuth correctional facility .

Hermitage

An outstanding cultural monument is the Hermitage pleasure garden, which had its origins in the margravial hunting and zoo. In the extensive park on a hill in a loop of the Red Main there are two castles, several water features and other sights.

Schools and kindergartens

The St. Johannis elementary school is part of the brick management. The Monplaisir country house in the Hermitage had served as a schoolhouse for more than 100 years since the mid-19th century.

The kindergarten founded the year before opened its doors in 1897. The organization responsible for the facility in Sonntagstrasse is the Evangelical Lutheran Church Community of St. Johannis.

Others

In local parlance, the district is often called "Kanz". This dialect expression was created by changing the sound and shortening the name Johannes . Accordingly, the inhabitants call "Kanzer", the annual bonfire called "Kanz fire."
