Wartburg
The Wartburg is a castle originally built in the Middle Ages. It is situated on a precipice to the southwest of, and overlooking the town of Eisenach, in the state of Thuringia, Germany. In 1999, UNESCO added Wartburg Castle to the World Heritage List. It was the home of St. Elisabeth of Hungary, the place where Martin Luther translated the New Testament of the Bible into German, the site of the Wartburg festival of 1817 and the supposed setting for the legendary ''Sängerkrieg''. It was an important inspiration for Ludwig II when he decided to build Neuschwanstein Castle. Wartburg is the most-visited tourist attraction in Thuringia after Weimar. Although the castle today still contains substantial original structures from the 12th through 15th centuries, much of the interior dates back only to the 19th-century period of Romanticism.
==Etymology==
The name of the castle is probably derived from (ドイツ語:Warte), a watchtower, in spite of a tradition which holds that the castle's founder, on first laying eyes on the site, exclaimed, "''Warte, Berg -- du sollst mir eine Burg tragen!''" ("Wait, mountain -- you shall bear my castle!").〔Reported by (Hilmar Schwartz, in ''Die Ludowinger. Aufstieg und Fall des ersten thüringischen Landgrafengeschlechts'' ( Wartburg-Stiftung: Eisenach) 1993. ) Though the source reports the incident, it states that written records cannot be found to that effect.〕 It is a German play on words for mountain (''Berg'') and fortress (''Burg''). In addition, Louis the Springer is said to have had clay from his lands transported to the top of the hill, which was not quite within his lands, so he might swear that the castle was built on his soil.
