Allersdorf: Early History and Regional Culture

Allersdorf draws attention to early settlement history in the surrounding area and places to eat in the district. Bindlach, as the broader travel destination, adds a distinctive landscape, further archaeological finds and a Baroque church. The following highlights can help you tailor your choice to your interests.

Early Settlement History in the Surrounding Area

Archaeological excavations between Schleifmühle and Allersdorf identified a Celtic settlement dating to around 450 BC. The find gives the surrounding area a concrete connection to prehistory and provides a chronological point of reference for those interested in cultural history. Its approximate date makes the discovery tangible and establishes it as an early point of reference in regional history.

A different period is represented in the broader travel destination of Bindlach: Carolingian row graves dating from the 9th century were found there in 1963. Taken together, the Celtic settlement and the graves mark distinct eras. This gives your travel planning a broad historical span, from the early connections near Allersdorf to a later find in Bindlach.

Bindlach: Landscape and Baroque Architecture

Bindlach lies in the valley of the long-vanished Ursteinach, between the Muschelkalk ridge of the Fichtelgebirge foothills to the east and the Rhätsandstein ridge of Hohe Warte to the west. The elevation ranges from 350 to 400 metres above sea level. The valley, ridges and their clear east–west orientation give the broader travel destination a distinct landscape setting. If you would like to combine landscape and culture, this offers a different focus from the early settlement history around Allersdorf.

Bindlach’s most important historical landmark is St. Bartholomew’s Church. The Baroque sacred building was constructed between 1766 and 1782 and is considered one of the most beautiful Margrave churches in Upper Franconia. It is a prominent cultural point of interest for travellers interested in regional church architecture. Church tours can be arranged with the parish office, so please contact them in advance to arrange a tour. Baroque identifies the architectural style; the classification as a Margrave church adds a regional connection to the construction dates and helps distinguish the two descriptions.

Cycling is also recommended for getting to the church in Bindlach; e-bikes are included as well. If you would like to combine exercise with a cultural destination, you can factor this suggestion into your day’s plans.
