Also in Eisenach was the the Wartburg Castle where Elizabeth Thuringia, a Hungarian princess married to a German nobleman started one of the first hospitals in Europe to care for the poor and the needy in the 13th century. This is the same castle were Martin Luther lived when he translated the Bible into the German language.
We enjoyed a full day visiting the museum and the castle and concluded our evening with a nice "German" dinner at the local "Bach" Restaurant. After an enjoyable meal we drove the two hours back to Frankfurt after a full and an enjoyable day learning some of the history of these prominent people in German history.
