Old weir on the Itz

Highlight • Monument

Even though it's old, it still fulfills its function. It dams the water of the Itz River. Unfortunately, several distribution weirs that distribute water to the meadows as needed are no longer in operation.

Rattelsdorf was called a “market” for the first time on April 29, 1667, which took place at this location.
Before 1752 there was a village pond on this site, the water from which was available in the event of a fire.
In 1752, Pastor Christoph Jäger acquired a leftover stone from the pier in Bamberg and had Ferdinand Tietz use it to make this beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary. At the same time, the fire pond was dried out and compacted. The statue of the Virgin Mary was erected here in 1764 and inaugurated in 1765.
During the last redesign in the 1970s, the frame of the Virgin Mary statue was enlarged, the baroque planting was renewed at the end of the 1990s and in 2001 the Virgin Mary statue was equipped in its original state with a cross lance and scepter and illuminated at night with floor spotlights.
Since 2006, the statue of the Virgin Mary has been covered with a glass house and thus protected from weathering.

Always straight ahead! The cycle path is perfectly developed to Bamberg and is easy to ride even with a lot of luggage. Almost a bit boring, but the view is nice 🚴☀️🌲

The spot where the bike path strays slightly from the road. Wonderfully quiet. Good asphalt and adequate width.

Rattelsdorf Historic Gatehouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The first mention took place in 1260. At the time of the Hussite Wars (1420-1436), a moat was created around the village on the fortification wall. This ditch has extended east of this gatehouse up to the doctor's office and then northwards over the Kaulberg-Straße with the east gate. Only after 1930 was this finally filled.

Once there were three goals in Rattelsdorf. Only this southern gatehouse could be preserved for posterity. It was last renovated in 1981.
