Baiersdorf

The major part of Baiersdorf is idyllically situated on a terrace which preserves the town from being flooded by the close Regnitz river.

Neighbor cities are Forchheim, Poxdorf, Langensendelbach, Bubenreuth, Möhrendorf and Hausen.

Baiersdorf's Jewish cemetery attests to the fact that the town has been home to Jews since the 15th century.

Among others the family of Joseph Seligman who emigrated to the United States and founded an international bank lived there.

Joseph's brother James who later followed him to the United States, is the grandfather of American art collector and socialite Peggy Guggenheim.
