Hannah is such a gem! Really enjoy her personality and hosting abilities!

As someone, who lives like 10 minutes away from the Castle, this video shows what privelege it actually is. To me living here has become natural and you normally don‘t think much about it‘s history. Thank you for pointing out the importance. After graduating high-school, I got my diploma handed over in the great hall. Still feels incredible and unreal😅

A very nice video, which shows the true value of the Wartburg. Unfortunately, an important part is always forgotten. In the time just before Saint Elizabeth lived, a second castle was built only 11 km away from the Wartburg. This castle is called Creuzburg, which is located in the town of the same name. St. Elizabeth lived here for many years. It was her favorite place to stay. Creuzburg Castle is very well preserved to this day. On the castle there is a great hotel with a noble restaurant, a beautiful park in the courtyard of the castle, the well-preserved torture cellar and many great halls in which you can also celebrate. Creuzburg Castle is worth a visit!

my grand parents took me to several old castles mostly off the beaten path and all of them were just starting to be restored in the 80's but you go to some spectacular places i wish i'd seen when i was over there.

I forgot to mention that I wasn’t aware of the standardization of the German language happening so far back in time. Smart people. The French didn’t unify their own language until the time of Napoleon. My German grandfather died long before I was born, and watching this video brought me a little closer to understanding him and his country of birth.

The Elisabeth chamber was stunning. It reminded me of places that I’ve visited in Hungary. I’m sending this video to my husband who loves Wagner’s operas so much. The next time we see “Tannhauser” I will have this castle in my mind. Many thanks for a marvelous visit to this important castle.

I grew up inGermany, we made from school trips so also the trip to the Wartburg.

Great video. I studied at the University of Kassel on a Summer exchange in the late 90s and we went to the Wartburg and the nearby town of Eisenach on one of our field trips. I was very impressed by how historical and well preserved it is. It's the second medieval castle I'd ever visited, the first being Hohensalzburg in Austria, and the Wartburg's woodland location really brought out the medieval nostalgia. I've been to many castles in several countries since, but that one is still one of my all time favorites. I'd love to go back there someday.

Spectacular, can't wait to vist! 💗

Eisenach my Hometown.

Informative and amazing video as always thank you so much ❣️🙏

Wartburg is indeed spectacular and splendid! It is heartwarming to know it's been so magnificently restored to its original beauty. Hannah did an excellent job as our tour guide through the castle. It is awe-inspring knowing such famous figures such as Martin Luther and Richard Wagner were actually there. I wish all Medieval castles and mansions were so painstakingly restored. It would be worth every penny (DeutscheMark?)

The castle is breath taking. But the host reminds me of the beautiful actress who plays "Rose"on Downtown Abby. I also enjoy watching her videos showcasing the great castle's of Germany.

Hey, good evening from India. Keep spreading good vibes always.

Great video. Thank you. Impressive history. I don’t know how I missed this piece on Euromaxx, unless the satellite signal was distorted during heavy rain.

I was stationed in Bad Hersfeld 1980-1983 in the US Army 11th ACR as a Tank Company Commander. We patrolled the East/West border. I was stationed again in Germany October 1989 and witnessed the fall of the USSR. We crossed over into former East Germany in December… very strange feeling. We toured Wartburg castle at that time. In 2012, my wife and son met my older German friends from Bad Hersfeld and toured the castle one last time. I was 27 years old in 1980 and met interesting people in Bad Hersfeld: WWI veterans; WWII veterans (even SS). Now they are all gone and even my wife at that time.

Home sweet home! Love my hometown! 😍

Burg already means castle. So Wartburg castle is somewhat double.

I wouldn't be so sure about the triangular shape of the castle. The Wewelsburg in Westphalia is also pretty triangular.

Between 1466 and 1517 fourteen translations of the Bible were published in High German, and five in Low German. Raban Maur had translated the entire Bible into Teutonic, or old German, in the late 8th century. Between 1450 to 1520 there were also ten French translations, and also Bibles rendered in Belgian, Bohemian, Spanish, Hungarian, and Russian. 25 Italian versions (with express Church sanction) appeared before 1500, starting at Venice in 1471.

Yes, it is correct, there were already several translations of the Bible into Upper German and Lower German dialects before Luther.

I dont know, but i have a problem with the term that Martin Luther "united" the germans. Yes, with his translation of the Bible he made a significant step towards a "german" language. But also at the end the division between the catholic church and the prostestants led to decades of war in europe. Its one of those big "if" in history. What would have happenend "if"....

It’s the consequences of a little action, the reformation surely wasn’t meant to develop as it did. People back then wanted to prevaricate on the people who had different beliefs, ideas etc. The wars happened because protestants didn’t want to give up on their beliefs and catholics didn’t want to become a minority. Wars happen for the shittiest and stupidest reason, like the one with Ukraine and Russia. Russia just wants to incorporate Ukraine, is straight up just a shitty justification to kill random people, both Russians and Ukrainian.
