Individual Sights in BayreuthSight 1: Deutsches Schreibmaschinenmuseum
The German typewriter museum was located in the Bayreuth district of Sankt Georgen until August 2022, in outbuildings of the former Leers’s orphanage from 1901. Since then, the exhibits have been stored in a secret place before the new domicile can be obtained on the area of the Thiergarten hunting lock.
Sight 2: Ordenskirche St. Georgen
The Ordenskirche St. Georgen or Sophienkirche is a church in the Sankt Georgen suburb of Bayreuth, a suburb which had been founded by George William, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth as hereditary prince of the Principality of Bayreuth. The church's foundation stone was laid in 1705. Stone was supplied from twenty nearby and distant quarries and in 1709 the church's outer shell was completed. As George William had hoped, the church was consecrated on the feast day of his name-saint George, 23 April 1711, though some work had to be carried out after consecration.
