Wirsberg also owes its historical significance to this crossing over the Schorgast. Located on important trade routes, such as the connection between Nuremberg, Plauen, and Leipzig, simple wooden bridges had been built here repeatedly in the past. However, these were often damaged or destroyed by floods, ice drift, and the massive wear and tear from heavy wagons, which transported copper ore, among other things. At the beginning of the 18th century, it was decided to build a stone bridge here. The Schorgast Bridge, which can be seen here today and which the locals call "Wernersbruck", was built in 1711 as a two-span sandstone ashlar bridge. In 1995 and 1996, it was extensively renovated by the district of Kulmbach and the market town of Wirsberg to preserve a historical piece of Wirsberg's history.

The striking brick church is accessible to visitors during the day as an open church. The highlight awaits inside: the colorfully designed windows above the altar. When sunlight shines through, a wonderful play of colors is created, bathing the interior in a very special light.

The Steinener Brücke from 1711 over the Schorgast, also called Wernersbruck, is a technical monument of great rarity. The bridge was thoroughly renovated and restored in 1995 by the district of Kulmbach.

Very nice swimming pool! It's best to come here before 2025, as the slide will probably be demolished next year. What's more, on Thursdays, children with paying parents get in for free! The kiosk there was also delicious!
