Bayreuth, District capital in Upper Franconia, Germany.
The Red Main and White Main rivers shape the landscape of Bayreuth district, which encompasses both the Franconian Jura hills and Fichtel Mountains.
The district formed in 1972 through the unification of former Bayreuth and Pegnitz districts, along with Gefrees from Münchberg and Speichersdorf from Kemnath.
The Veldenstein Forest within the district boundaries contains one of Bavaria's largest continuous woodland areas, supporting diverse plant and animal species.
Nine neighboring districts connect with Bayreuth: Kulmbach, Hof, Wunsiedel, Tirschenreuth, Neustadt, Amberg-Sulzbach, Nürnberger Land, Forchheim, and Bamberg.
The district maintains 104,843 residents across multiple municipalities while completely encircling, yet excluding, the separate city of Bayreuth.
