Bischofsgrün (English translation: "Bishopsgreen") is a municipality in the district of Bayreuth in Bavaria in Germany.
Bischofsgrün is supposedly the town where the art of glassblowing became a true industry.[citation needed] Glassblowing is no longer a necessity, but Bischofsgrün has become something of a tourist attraction, not for its growth but for its lack of it. While it does have some bucolic resorts set into foothills, it also still has a few farms, at least one microbrewery, and some impressive stone churches.
