Die in Südthüringen nahe der bayerischen Grenze gelegene
Burgruine Henneberg zählt zu den bedeutenden Zeugnissen einer
längst vergangenen Dynastie. Die Henneberger Grafen prägten im
Hoch- und Spätmittelalter nicht nur die Geschichte Südthüringens
und Unterfrankens entscheidend, sondern spielten zeitweise auch
eine herausragende Rolle in der Reichsgeschichte. Von der im
Bauernkrieg 1525 zerstörten Burg blieben nur wenige Gebäudereste
erhalten. Archäologische Grabungen sowie die Arbeit von
Historikern und Bauforschern haben jedoch wesentlich zur Erhellung
des historischen Bestands beigetragen. Sehenswert sind die
spätmittelalterliche Ringmauer, der mächtige Bergfried und
besonders die Reste der Holzstube, die zu den ältesten Bauten
dieser Art auf Burgen im deutschsprachigen Raum zählt.
Altenstein Castle is one of the outstanding structures of
historicist architecture in Germany, which served as a summer
residence for the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen until 1918. In addition,
one of the most important landscape gardens in Germany was created
here by skilfully incorporating natural features. The
Altenstein-Liebenstein cultivated landscape, which extends far
beyond the immediate park and spa facilities, was developed by
means of sophisticated garden and architectural design and the
interweaving of park and natural landscape areas. Handy, richly
illustrated art guide to the cultivated landscape of Altenstein
Bertholdsburg Castle towers up in the center of the small
Thuringian city of Schleusingen in the southernmost foothills of
the Thuringian Forest. The impressive Renaissance site was named
after Berthold VII, the most important member of the House of
Henneberg. Situated on a mountain spur, the striking Renaissance
site can barely be made out from the northeast, but this impression
is misleading with respect to the historical structure of the
castle and city. People approaching the location from the southwest
can still sense the imposing impression that the high walls and
towers of the former center of power of the princely Counts of
Henneberg once made on its visitors. Today, Bertholdsburg Castle
houses the Naturhistorische Museum.
