Tips from the Community
The Church of the Holy Trinity (Stadtkirche Heilig Dreifaltigkeit) is Bayreuth's largest church and is considered the city's most important Protestant place of worship. It is a three-nave basilica in the late Gothic style, with two striking towers that shape the cityscape. The first church on this site was likely consecrated as early as 1194, marking the first documented mention of Bayreuth. After destruction by the Hussites (1430) and a devastating city fire (1605), the church was rebuilt in its current form between 1611 and 1614 and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It serves as the preaching church of the regional bishop and is the main church of the deanery. Beneath the chancel lies the princely crypt, where 26 members of the margravial family are buried, including Margrave Christian and Christian Ernst. The interior features Baroque elements, a historic pulpit, and an imposing high altar from 1615. The church houses the large Trinity Organ (renovated in 2014) as well as the Magdalene Organ. A stone bridge connects the two towers. In the north tower, a historic tower dweller's apartment can be visited, where a family lived until 1932.

Like most river sources, it's rather unspectacular, but if you're planning to cycle the Main cycle path anyway...

The two outflows in the north and south flow in different directions and converge again via other river systems near Bamberg. This system turns Franconian Switzerland into an "island."
