Wiesen is a district of Bad Staffelstein on the northern bank of the Main in the Lichtenfels district .

history

Wiesen used to be a fishing village on a bend in the Main. The first mention as "Vuison" was 1057 or earlier. Otto von Schweinfurt had given the place to his daughter Alberata and her servant Bero in the Villication Döringstadt . The former hamlet of Mittelau was first mentioned in a document in 1240.

Presumably in 1834, the Main received a new river bed about 400 meters further east. In 1877 the first fixed main crossing was built with a wooden girder bridge. In 1900 the parish village had 213 residents, all of whom were Catholic, and 35 residential buildings.

On January 1, 1975, the municipality of Wiesen was incorporated into the town of Staffelstein. In 1987 the place had 241 residents and 62 residential buildings. In the competition Our village should become more beautiful - our village has a future , the place was able to place itself in 1998 among the 23 most beautiful places in Bavaria. In 2006 the district garden day took place in Wiesen.
