Wagnerfels
The Wagnerfelsen , on the official Wagnerfelsen map , is a rocky outcrop on the southern edge of the town of Waischenfeld in the western district of Bayreuth and is named after the composer Richard Wagner . It is located around 82 meters (horizontal distance) east (orographic left) of the Wiesent and 33 meters above the river in the wooded hillside Buchberg , as well as above the district road BT 84 that runs along the Wiesent to the left. Its mass is reported in the media as 290 or 350 tons specified, with a volume of 110 cubic meters.
After employees of the State Office for the Environment discovered cracks in the overhanging rock in March 2014 , geologists from the Nuremberg Institute for Environmental Geology raised the alarm because the boulder threatened to fall posed a great danger for two apartment buildings at the foot of the hillside.
To avert a possible rock fall, the rock was secured over a period of five weeks in November and December 2015 by a specialist company from Straubing . From the mountain side, the company concreted steel rods five centimeters thick into holes drilled at an angle downwards. The face of the boulder remained unchanged. The order was placed by the city of Waischenfeld, which incurred costs of 65,000 euros in this context.
