October 6, 2025, St. Michael and St. Lawrence Chapel

The Waischenfeld church's main patron saint: It was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted—in paintings or statues—with a flaming sword, occasionally also with a lance. Michael is—along with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel—one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

On the second patronage of the Waischenfeld church: Saint Lawrence is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was the Pope's archdeacon and was summoned by the pagan Emperor Valerian to hand over the church's treasure. Lawrence requested three days' grace, during which he distributed the church's wealth among the poor inhabitants of Rome. After the agreed time, he returned to the emperor with the poor to present them as the church's treasure. He was then martyred to death. Legend says he was roasted alive on a gridiron—this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence—over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and to have asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The feast day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th.

The attractive Waischenfeld Town Chapel was first documented in 1482 and dates back to 1699 in its current form. The Baroque interior furnishings were created by the workshop of the Upper Palatinate cabinetmaker and sculptor Doser (1678-1756). The figures on the high altar depict the Archangel Michael, the side figures John the Baptist and St. Zeno, as well as God the Father in the Excerpt. The left side altar is dedicated to the Mother of God, and the right to St. Anthony.

For me, the Lausbub is one of the most beautiful beer gardens in Bayreuth and within, say, a 10-km radius. This beer garden is typically Franconian, which is something I value a lot. It starts with the food, of course, and continues with the beer specialties and the service, and of course, doesn't end with the chef, but goes beyond that. Sven, the chef, has a very good hand in designing and selecting his service staff. Everything is just perfect, and you notice it as a guest, which is why you enjoy being here.
