You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Frederick Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth''' (17 July 1708 in [[Weferlingen]] &ndash; 20 January 1769 in [[Bayreuth]]), was a member of the [[House of Hohenzollern]] and [[Principality of Bayreuth|Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth]].

==Family==
He was the youngest of fourteen children born to Margrave [[Christian Heinrich of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach]] by his wife, Countess [[Sophie Christiane of Wolfstein]]. His father died on 5 April 1708, almost three months before his birth.

Besides him, only six of his siblings survived to adulthood: [[George Frederick Charles, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth|Georg Frederick Karl]], who became Margrave of Bayreuth; Albrecht Wolfgang, who was killed in battle in 1734; Dorothea Charlotte, Countess of Hohenlohe-Weikersheim, who died in 1712 after only seven months of marriage; [[Sophia Magdalen of Brandenburg-Kulmbach|Sophie Magdalene, Queen of Denmark]]; Frederick Ernst; and Sophie Caroline, Princess of Ostfriesland.

==Life==
Frederick Christian was considered an eccentric, indeed the "black sheep" of the family. By the time of the death of his cousin Georg Wilhelm, Margrave of Bayreuth (1726), he lived as a Danish Lieutenant-general in [[Wandsbek]] near [[Hamburg]] and was not prepared for any government tasks in the principality of Bayreuth. He did not exercise his power and left all the control of the principality to his older brother George Frederick Charles.

The death of his nephew Frederick without male issue on (26 February 1763), however, found him the only male member of the Bayreuth branch of the family, and, in consequence, the new Margrave of Bayreuth.

After his assumption of the government in Bayreuth, Frederick Christian tried to stabilize the ruined state finances by drastically reducing the costs of the Bayreuth court. Most artists who had worked there (among others, [[Carl von Gontard]]) went to [[Berlin]] to the court of King [[Frederick the Great]]. Almost all construction work in the castles and gardens were stopped. Bayreuth sank again into the ''Provinzialität'' (Province state).

==Marriage and issue==
In [[Schaumburg|Schaumburg an der Lahn]] on 26 April 1732, Frederick Christian married [[Victoria Charlotte of Anhalt-Zeitz-Hoym]] (September 25, 1715 – February 4, 1772). They had two daughters:
#[[Christiane Sophie Charlotte of Brandenburg-Bayreuth|Christiane Sophie Charlotte]] (b. Neustadt am Aisch, 15 October 1733 – d. Seidingstadt, 8 October 1757), married on 20 January 1757 to [[Ernest Frederick III, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen|Ernst Frederick III, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen]].
#Sophie Magdalene (b. Neustadt am Aisch, 12 January 1737 – d. Neustadt am Aisch, 23 July 1737).

One year afte Frederick Christian inherited the [[margraviate]] of Bayreuth (1764), he and Victoria Charlotte were divorced, they were already separated since 1739 due to Frederick Christian's jealousy.<ref>Johann Wilhelm Holle: ''Geschichte der Stadt Bayreuth von den ältesten Zeiten bis 1792'', p. 149, Seligsberg, 1901</ref> Victoria Charlotte returned to her homeland, where she died in 1792, twenty-three years after her former husband. Neither of them remarried.

Without male issue, Frederick Christian became the last member of the Younger line of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, which had ruled this principality since 1603. On his death, Bayreuth was inherited by his distant kinsman, [[Charles Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach]].
