background

The rule of Plassenburg with the city of Kulmbach fell to the Burgraves of Nuremberg in the 14th century from the legacy of the Dukes of Meran. The later one Margraviate Brandenburg-Bayreuth, which emerged in 1486 after the division of the Franconian principalities, also had its Franconian seat in the city of Kulmbach for a long time; therefore one speaks of the margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach. The descendants of Margrave Georg Albrecht von Kulmbach (d. 1666), who followed in 1726 in the Margraviate of Bayreuth and died out with Friedrich Christian in 1769, deserve this name in particular.
