Discover Rattelsdorf

Rattelsdorf invites you to discover its local history and varied architectural features. In the municipality, you’ll find a statue of the Virgin Mary by Ferdinand Tietz and a church between the former monastery office and the rectory. Nearby, Ebing and Mürsbach each have their own highlights, from a bathing lake to historic half-timbered architecture. The Main-Coburg Tour also passes through Rattelsdorf. When planning your accommodation, you can weigh up whether a campsite in the area suits the kind of trip you have in mind.

Camping in Ebing

Ebing campsite is on the edge of Ebing, right beside the bathing lake. It offers motorhome pitches, seasonal pitches for long-term campers, and a large tent site. There are several types of camping to choose from, so you can tailor your search to whether you’re travelling by motorhome, tent, or as a long-term camper. The season runs from April 1 to September 30 each year. As the operator may revise the dates, it’s best to check them before planning your trip around them.

Local sights and culture nearby

In Rattelsdorf, the church stands between the former monastery office and the rectory. Another local landmark is a statue of the Virgin Mary by Ferdinand Tietz. These two sights offer different points of interest for a walk focused on architecture and art; the church’s specific position in relation to the monastery office and rectory is a notable feature.

In Ebing, the market square is known for its distinctive trees. The Christmas market has also become a tradition and is known beyond the borders of Ebing. Together with the bathing lake, it gives Ebing a different character from the buildings in Rattelsdorf: here, the focus is on the village square, market tradition, and water.

Nearby, Mürsbach is characterised by its historic half-timbered architecture. Its oldest settlement centre includes the Catholic parish church of St Sebastian, situated on a hill, and its rectory. The Verkündhalle also stands on the main street; it was built in 1716 as an open, octagonal pavilion with a tented roof. The half-timbered buildings, church, and pavilion each add their own architectural character, without requiring a particular walking route.

In the wider Bamberg destination, Weissenstein Palace near Pommersfelden and Ebrach Abbey offer different perspectives on cultural history. Weissenstein Palace is one of Germany’s major Baroque complexes and houses an extensive gallery of art-historical works by French, Italian, German, and Dutch painters. In the 18th century, Leonhard Dientzenhofer substantially transformed the Ebrach Abbey complex into a palace-like Baroque ensemble; its Gothic church, with its rose window, was preserved. Since 2004, the Museum of Ebrach’s History has been housed in the former Cistercian monastery and focuses on the history of the market town and the monastery. In Buttenheim, the Levi Strauss Museum – Buttenheim Birthplace tells the life story of Levi Strauss and the history of his famous blue jeans.
