Coburg

Coburg is best known within Bavaria for Veste Coburg, the fortress rising above its historic centre. The town lies on the Itz River in northern Bavaria, close to the Thuringian border, where Franconian and Thuringian influences meet. Martin Luther stayed at the Veste in 1530 while the Imperial Diet convened in Augsburg, giving the fortress a notable place in Reformation history. Below it, the compact centre includes the Market Square and Ehrenburg Palace, a former ducal residence. Coburg is also closely associated with Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.
