The Wartburg; at the crest of a two hundred meter high rock above the town of Eisenach; became a well-fortified stronghold in the middle-ages, when intrigues were manifold, turned into a magnificent residence and finally into a hostel,; a place of contemplation and safety. The storms and silences of centuries past, history and stories, imbued these old, weathered walls with an aura that is still palpable today. It seems as if on this mountain man has always build and re-build and every generation for almost a thousand years has added its part. Of course, different times mean different needs. 200 years ago it looked like the then decrepit Wartburg had reached the end of its life. But thanks to the active interest of its then owner grand duke Carl Alexander von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach and the architect Hugo von Ritgen a university professor from Giessen the Wartburg rose from the ashes like a phoenix. Restored, amended and more beautiful than ever, the Wartburg again aroused active interest; this time from scores of tourists. It was thought that the construction of a new hostel would be enough. But the number of guests kept rising and it soon became apparent that a spacious new building was needed. In order to be sure that this newest addition would be a worthy representative of the whole the well-known architect and expert on castles Bodo Ebhardt was put in charge of planning and supervising. The Hotel was to be generously proportioned but not to rival the castle, in the same style as the castle but not tawdry and, finally, functional, modern and full of atmosphere at the same time. To start with the rocky ground was brought down as much as ten meters and in that way obtained an irregular but vastly larger floor space. On this the facade grew, made from the local, auburn stone that had been used in the construction of the Wartburg itself, loosened by the characteristic Thuringian half-timbered constructions - gracefully arranged around the weatherproof inner courtyard. Ebhardt had succeeded in combining the practicalities with artistic harmony. But the succession of those that took care of the castle hostel and the guesthouse in such imaginative ways did not end with Ebhardt. 1994 and again in 2001 the Hotel auf der Wartburg was amended to its current design. Restoring the guest rooms, the restaurants, the inner courtyard of the hotel and the construction of our wellness and vitality area;Jungbrunnen; made it unique among hotels worldwide. This and the esteem of its guests and visitors made the DEHOGA award its five star rating to the Hotel auf der Wartburg in 2004.

Who thinks of the world of Thuringian specialities as consisting of home-made fried sausages and real Thuringian dumplings will be proven true and surprised at the same time at the Wartburg. For it is the aim of our Chef to present at the same time the true character of these classic dishes and the virtuosity of the Thuringian cuisine. fresh brook trout and succulent boar roast harmonize perfectly with the richly flavoured castle cuisine made of regional products and inspired by old recipes found at castles and manor houses of the wine-growing districts. castle;s tavern;Gadem; in the second courtyard of the Wartburg the publican and his maidservants await you for a proper feast.

Far from the restlessness and constrictions of today;s city life, surrounded by forest as far as the eye can see and close to the clouds: This historical site still is as;hoch und froh; (high and merry) as Goethe once experienced it. It is the special feat of this house, to have created out of this unmistakable motif of landscape and architecture, a composition that speaks to all the senses. The Wartburg has retained its friendly hospitality, since the times of the first pilgrims that knocked on its doors. Welcome, service and a good night;s lodging have always been - and still are - a well-kept tradition at the Hotel auf der Wartburg. Now, after ninety years as the;Gasthof fur frohliche Leut; (guesthouse for merry people) the Hotel auf der Wartburg presents itself once again as a place of comfort, of calm and merriment. As a guest, to feel comfortable and secure as if at home might have become a rare thing; but it is not impossible.
