Wartburg Castle Postcard

Wartburg Castle Postcard

Wartburg Castle of Eisenach. Wartburg Castle, situated on a precipice overlooking the town of Eisenach in Thuringia, Germany, has a rich and storied history dating back over a thousand years. Constructed in the 11th century, it served as the residence of the Thuringian landgraves and witnessed significant historical events. One of the most famous episodes associated with Wartburg Castle is the exile of Martin Luther in 1521. Seeking refuge after being declared an outlaw by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, Luther translated the New Testament into German during his time at the castle, a groundbreaking endeavor that played a pivotal role in the Reformation. Throughout the centuries, Wartburg Castle underwent numerous architectural changes and expansions, reflecting the evolving needs and tastes of its inhabitants. The castle complex includes various buildings, such as the Romanesque Palas, the medieval keep, and the stunning Elisabethkapelle (St. Elizabeth's Chapel), which pays homage to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. The castle's strategic location and imposing structure also played a role in its military history, as it served as a stronghold and fortress during various conflicts. In the 19th century, Wartburg Castle gained cultural significance as it became a symbol of German national identity and romanticism. It was extensively restored during this period to preserve its medieval character.

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
