A true pleasure - discover the festival city of Bayreuth with a charming escort lady...
Festival city Bayreuth
What do most people associate with when they think of the city of Bayreuth? The majority will probably think of the Bayreuth Festival and the Richard-Wagner-Festival. No wonder the city has gained world renown through it. The Bayreuth Festival was founded by nobody less than Richard Wagner himself. The basic idea was to create a theater far from the metropolises, in which the artist could concentrate fully on their works. The first performance took place on 13 August 1876 with a complete performance of Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelungen".
Bayreuth is an almost 73,000 inhabitant-strong city in Oberfranken, which is located on one of the two river streams of the Main, namely the Red Main, between Franconian Switzerland and the Fichtelgebirge. For the first time the city was mentioned in 1194 in a document of Bishop Otto II of Bamberg. Presumably, Bayreuth received the municipal law around 1231 - at least this year Bayreuth was referred to in records and documents as a city and not as a village. Bayreuth later became the residence of the margraves of Bayreuth.
Today, Bayreuth attracts numerous people not only for the venue of the Richard Wagner Festival. The city is also very popular with students. There are two universities in Bayreuth, namely the University of Bayreuth and the Protestant Church Music College.
Enjoy the sights of Bayreuth with your escort lady
During your stay in Bayreuth there is much to discover, but some highlights are an absolute must for any visitor to the city - of course accompanied by an escort lady. This includes, in any case, the Markgräfliche Opernhaus, which is regarded as the largest and most beautiful baroque theater in Europe. It was even officially proposed by the Federal Government to be included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list. It was built within only four years by the order of the Countess Wilhelmine, sister of Frederick the Great. In 1748 the building was completed and brought with it that Bayreuth became a significant cultural city.
You should also visit the Hermitage Old Castle near the town with your escort lady. It was built in 1715 by margrave Friedrich, when the government of margrave Friedrich came to power. The Hermitage passed it to his wife, Wilhelmine, who expanded the grounds and extended the Old Castle to a summer residence. There was an impressive landscape park with various wells, artificial ruins, a ruin theater and a grotto, which can be visited accompanied by a charming escort lady.
In 1753 another castle was built in Bayreuth, which was to serve as the new residence of the margrave. The margrave Wilhelmine also exercised a great influence on the design of the New Palace. For example, the designs of the mirror-scrap cabinet and the Old Music Room came from her. In addition to the magnificent buildings and installations of the Hermitage and other prominent buildings such as the Markgräflichen Opernhaus, the New Castle is also home to the so-called Bayreuther Rococo. A characteristic example of this style is the walnut-paneled palms room.
Also the rocky garden Sanspareil goes back to the Markgräfin Wilhelmine, which is probably unique in its kind. It lies in the area around the medieval castle Zwernitz, which served the margrave for hunting. The idea of transforming this area into a garden of mysteries was not realized until 1744. Geometrically arranged garden areas were embedded in natural rock formations and forest areas and small buildings were set on rocks. In most cases, these are no longer available today, but a ruin theater, as there is in the Hermitage of the Old Castle, is still preserved. A special highlight is the Oriental building, which exterior is oriental, but is also decorated in the style of Bayreuth Rococo inside. Together with your companion from the escort service, let the feeling of the 1001 night stories be revived.
Going out in Bayreuth accompanied by a charming escort
Bayreuth has a diverse cultural landscape. Whether it is a theater, a music event or a festival, culture lovers will find everything they need. An important role in the theater landscape of Bayreuth plays, for example, the Stadttheater Hof, which regularly performs its entire program in the city hall of Bayreuth. The Studiobühne Bayreuth, a free theater with professionally trained, non-professional actors, has become well-known in the region. The program of the studios ranges from classical plays, experimental theater to theater for children and young people. Again and again interesting is the Bayreuther Theaterherbst (theatre fall), in the course of which pieces of different touring theaters are performed. Enjoy this cultural diversity with an escort as a charming companion and more...
As a music lover, you will also be in Bayreuth, as there are regular music festivals, such as the Bayreuth Baroque or the Musica Bayreuth.
But it does not have to be culture. How about a trip? The Tierpark Röhrensee is particularly well suited for this purpose. Here you can admire different animals in an animal friendly environment, go for a walk with your escort lady and take a boat trip on the lake. Other scenic destinations include the Botanical Garden of the University of Bayreuth as well as the Lohengrin Spa, one of the best thermal baths in Germany.
