The Wartburg towers as a landmark high above the city of Eisenach - 1000 years of German history are reflected in it again. Especially well known is the fact that the castle granted exile to the outlaw Martin Luther, who translated the New Testament here. From here, the view of the castle is rather distant but no less beautiful. But a few kilometers it is still to Eisenach.

Brandenburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Brandenburg consists of two plants: the Westburg and the Ostburg. The castles were always in the possession of competing aristocratic families or rulers. In the 13th century, when the castles were built, was an important trade route under the castle hill and the owners of the two castles could secure this and at the same time control. In the 16th century lost this way in importance and the two castles were abandoned. The already ruined ruin was awakened from its slumber only with the advent of tourism in the late 19th century. Rehabilitation works were interrupted by the Second World War. After the war, the castle was located in the border area and the GDR leadership had it fenced. Thus, a unique biotope could develop on the silent castle ruins. When the castle was to be rebuilt after the fall, it was partly due to rare animal and plant species under protection.

Today the castle can be visited and in the castle museum you can immerse yourself completely in the history of the castle and the Middle Ages. The castle ruins are open every day of the year.

Opening hours Museum:
April until the end of September
Sundays and holidays 11am to 5pm
