| - | A UNESCO World Heritage site, this dates to 1067 AD, according to the stories. I could include a dozen pictures easily, but since it isn't directly related to the Ungerechts, I'll just include a couple.

I could include a dozen pictures easily, but since it isn't directly related to the Ungerechts, I'll just include a couple. It was built for defense, on top of a hill, but was never besieged, other than by time and neglect in the 1600's and 1700's. Because of its connection to Martin Luther and general importance, it was refurbished in the 1800's. Here my son is under a walkway and a bona fide drawbridge - the only way in and out of the castle. |

| Martin Luther spent quite a bit of time in Eisenach, and after the Catholic church rejected his proposal for change and excommunicated him in 1521, he fled here. This is the room where he spent most of his time, working on a German translation of the Bible. The whale vertebra is original to his time here. | Martin Luther spent quite a bit of time in Eisenach, and after the Catholic church rejected his proposal for change and excommunicated him in 1521, he fled here.
