Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

December 4, 2019

George William of Brandenburg-Bayreuth had the Brandenburg Lake created in St. Georgen am See and diverted the Döhlau Ditch from the Warme Steinach stream near Döhlau to feed it. On this lake, also known as the "Brandenburg Pond," mock naval battles were staged in the 18th century using ships up to 18 meters long.

Numerous mills were powered by the water of the Warme Steinach. The fulling mill in the Bayreuth district of Laineck was built before 1728 as a marble mill and is still in operation as a sawmill. Small, privately operated hydroelectric power plants exist in Mittlernhammer near Sophienthal[6] and on the Döhlau Ditch in Friedrichsthal.
