Schmalkalden

Schmalkalden is best known within Thuringia for its exceptionally well-preserved half-timbered Old Town. The town lies on the Schmalkalde River in southwestern Thuringia, close to the wooded heights of the Thuringian Forest. In 1531, Lutheran princes formed the Schmalkaldic League here, making the town an important setting in the early history of the Reformation. Renaissance Schloss Wilhelmsburg, built as a ducal residence, adds another distinct landmark above the historic centre.
