Since then, the Singers’ War has taken place here with poets such as Wolfram von Eschenbach, the Wartburg has served as the home and workplace of St Elisabeth and Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German. In 1817, Germany’s first bourgeois-democratic event was held with the Wartburg Festival of the student fraternities. After the proclamation of the republic and the abdication of the princely houses, the Wartburg Foundation was established in 1922, which is entrusted with the care and preservation of the castle and its art collection. In 1999, Wartburg Castle was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With magnificent colour photographs, this guide provides an overview of the history and structure of the castle.
