history

Georg Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Bayreuth had the Brandenburger See built in St. Georgen am See and the Döhlauer Graben derived from the Warm Steinach near Döhlau in order to feed it. On the lake, also known as the “Brandenburger Weiher”, naval battles were re-enacted in the 18th century with ships up to 18 meters in length.

Numerous mills were operated with the water from the Warm Steinach. The fulling mill in the Laineck district of Bayreuth was laid out as a marble mill before 1728 and is still in operation as a cutting mill . In Mittlernhammer near Sophienthal and at Döhlauer Graben in Friedrichsthal there are small, privately operated hydropower plants .
