The international reputation of Bayreuth as a cultural capital is mainly as a result of the Richard Wagner Festival. Around 60,000 visitors experience the
landmark interpretations by the stars of the Wagner Festival.
But it is not only since the 19th century that important artists have been attracted to the valley surrounded by forest on the river "Red Main". The architect Michael Mebarth from Strasburg
influenced the townscape with his buildings in the 17th century. And when the 35-voice organ rebuilt by him in 1619 was inaugurated in the main church, Margrave Christian invited the most
important organists: Michael Preatorius, Heinrich Schütz, Samuel Scheidt and Johann Staden. For more information see here
