history

Fanggasse in (Unter) Thiergarten

As early as 1390, the location is mentioned under the name "Breitengraß" in the land register of the land clerk Pastor Paul from Kasendorf . In the 17th century, Breitengraß consisted of a farm, a “Söldengut”, a hunter's house with “economic justice”, a forge and a brickworks . After the Thirty Years War the place remained uninhabited and fell into disrepair.

After the area had been used for hunting by the Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth for a long time, Margrave Christian Ernst had a first hunting lodge built above the town. In 1715 it was replaced by his successor Georg Wilhelm with the Thiergarten hunting lodge, which is still preserved. About a kilometer away from the castle, the margrave had a stable and a forester's house built in the Tappert valley . They formed the nucleus of today's district (Unter) Thiergarten.

The castle and the stables as well as several ponds were located in a fenced hunting area, the fence of which Christian Ernst had replaced by a massive wall, which was broken through by six gates. The main entrance was the Bayreuth Gate, magnificently designed with sculptures by the sculptor Elias Räntz . The remains of the place Breitengraß disappeared in the course of the redesign of the area into a baroque hunting garden.

In the animal garden, fallow deer were mainly kept and hunted, and there was also a pheasant garden covering 45  days of land . The last Margrave, Karl Alexander , had the area partially destroyed out of disinterest in the hunt.

On July 1, 1976, the Thiergarten community joined the city of Bayreuth. At that time it comprised more than thirty farms.

Peasant green

The name of the farm , which can be proven no later than 1797, goes back to the clearing ("green") of a farmer or a man named Bauer.

Destuben

Hofwiesengasse in Destuben

The village of Destuben was first mentioned in Landbuch A of 1398, already under its current name. The Middle High German word "stube" means heatable room or small house. Thus, the place name could indicate an old hostel , which is not documented. It could also be an old field name that denoted a parcel of land enclosed by forest.

Heinersberg

In Landbuch A, four goods belonging to the Nanckenreuther von Unternschreez family were mentioned as Heuesberg in 1398 . The name Heinersberg first appeared in 1692 and meant "Mountain of Heinrich".

Roedensdorf

Rödensdorf is located on the slope of the Sophienberg . The place belonged to the municipality of Thiergarten and was incorporated into Bayreuth in 1986. In 1398 it was first mentioned in Landbuch A. The place name contains the genitive form of the old German personal name Hrodin (old high German hruod = fame) and means "village of a Rodin".

The former residential stable house Rödensdorf 28 is a monument (number D-4-62-000-432) and in 2011 gave the impetus to found the association Save the half-timbered and sandstone houses . In 2016, an expert opinion on the preservation and renovation of the building was drawn up. However, the owner let the empty house fall into disrepair and broke off contact with the association in 2017. In February 2020, the third half-timbered segment fell out of the facade after a storm ; In May 2020, preservationists and politicians declared that the building could hardly be saved and spoke of a “multiple organ failure of all authorities”.

Römersberg

The hamlet of Römersberg is named after a Römer family , the field name is documented in 1936.

Worry flight

The Prussian captain von Reiche built a small country estate near Thiergarten in 1801, which he called the Sorgeflieh. He was the author of a book about Bayreuth and a city map.
