Bayreuth is a town in northern Bavaria, Germany, on the Red Main river in a valley between the Franconian Jura and the Fichtel Mountains. The town was first mentioned in 1194 as Baierrute in a document by Bishop Otto II of Bamberg, and it is believed to have been founded by the counts of Andechs probably around the middle of the twelfth century. Villages that were later merged into it, such as Seulbitz and St. Johannis, were documented earlier. Today it is the capital of Upper Franconia and had a population of 72,148 in 2015. It is best known for the annual Bayreuth Festival, at which operas by the nineteenth century German composer Richard Wagner are performed.
