Birch Avenue near Untersteinach

Highlight • Natural

When you arrive at Birkenallee from Untersteinach, you have to decide how to continue:
* from Ludwigschorgast up the B289
* along the B 303 to Wirsberg
* along the gravel bike path to Hegnabrunn
* or the tar road up to the lake.
This decision is not that easy. That's why you take a little break there and just ask the birches 😊.

On July 8, 1151, the place was first mentioned as "Steinaha". The place was named after the river Steinach, later with the addition "Ober-" or "Stadt-" to distinguish it from other places of the same name.
With Nordeck Castle, the place passed from the Counts of Henneberg into the possession of the Prince Diocese of Bamberg under Eberhard II of Otelingen. From that time on, Stadtsteinach belonged to the Bamberg Monastery for more than 650 years, which was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500, and was the administrative seat from 1525 after the castle was destroyed.
In the first half of the 14th century Steinach was raised to the status of a town. The city suffered from devastation during the war several times, including the Hussite War, the Margrave Wars and the Thirty Years' War.
The direct proximity to the margravate based in Kulmbach (Plassenburg) had a negative effect, especially after the margraves converted to the Reformation. There were frequent attacks.
Towards the end of the 18th century, Stadtsteinach consisted of 190 properties. The high court was exercised by the Bamberg center Stadtsteinach.
The authority of Stadtsteinach was in charge of the village and community. Were landlords
the caste office Stadtsteinach (office of the bailiff, 2 officials' houses, frontage, 2 courtyards, 8 half courtyards, 1 Gütlein, 4 houses, hammer mill),
the mayor and council of Stadtsteinach (135 houses, 23 half houses, 2 quarter courtyards, 1 quarter estate, 1 sawmill, 1 mill, 2 gatehouses, poor house, brick hut, shepherd's house),
the parish of Stadtsteinach (parish church, rectory, Frühmesserhaus, Mesmerhaus, schoolhouse, 8 houses).
Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1802, the place belongs to Bavaria. With the municipal edict, the tax district Stadtsteinach was formed in 1808, to which Bergleshof, Deinhardsmühle, Hammermühle, Hochofen, Mittelhammer, Oberhammer and Ziegelhütte belonged.
In 1811 the rural community of Stadtsteinach was established, which was congruent with the tax district. It was assigned to the Stadtsteinach Regional Court in terms of administration and jurisdiction and the Stadtsteinach Rent Office (renamed Stadtsteinach Tax Office in 1919) in the financial administration.
From 1862, Stadtsteinach belonged to the Stadtsteinach district office (renamed the Stadtsteinach district in 1939). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Stadtsteinach (converted into district court Stadtsteinach in 1879). The community originally had an area of 13.417 km².
