Among the castles, Wartburg Castle impressively represents the history of castle construction and utilisation. As a magnificent residence, centre of power and seat of authority, it served various lords in the Middle Ages and early modern period. Extensively renovated in the 19th century, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of Germany's outstanding castles since 1999. Who were the Ludovingians and which castles did they rule as Landgraves of Thuringia? What other castles were there in high medieval Thuringia and how did their form and function change over the following centuries? How were construction, rule, courtly life and warfare organised around castles? Answers to these questions and much more interesting information are provided by essays by renowned authors, varied short texts and catalogue contributions in the richly illustrated volume accompanying the special exhibition, which takes a look beyond the symbolic Wartburg and into the "Burgenland of Thuringia".
