Hohenzollerntag events to feature Hohenzollern family history in Bayreuth

The Bavarian Palace Administration is hosting Hohenzollerntag on Sunday, October 11, featuring events centered on the history of the Hohenzollern family across several historical sites.

In Bayreuth, the Neues Schloss will host a themed tour titled ‘Ich opfere mich für meine Familie’ (I sacrifice myself for my family), focusing on Wilhelmine of Prussia, her childhood, and her relationship with her brother, Frederick the Great. Later that afternoon, the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Margravial Opera House, will host a tour regarding the wedding of Wilhelmine’s daughter, Elisabeth Friederike Sophie, to Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg.

Additional programming includes exploring the Hohenzollern Museum in Franconia at Plassenburg in Kulmbach.
