Coburg: Veste Coburg, European Royal Connections, and the Franconian Residence City That Chose Bavaria
Coburg has a population around 41,900 and lies in Upper Franconia (Oberfranken), Bavaria, near the Thuringian border. The Veste Coburg, one of Germany's largest hilltop fortresses, sheltered Martin Luther for six months in 1530 during the Diet of Augsburg. Its art collection includes works by Cranach, Durer, and an extensive medieval weapons display.
The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha married into nearly every European royal family during the 19th century. Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, was born at Schloss Rosenau just outside town. The Marktplatz, dominated by the Stadthaus and the Coburger Bratwurst stands, forms the commercial centre. The Landestheater Coburg is one of Germany's oldest continuously operating theatres. In a 1919 referendum, Coburg voted to join Bavaria rather than Thuringia. The Hofgarten park links the town to Schloss Ehrenburg. Adult companionship follows Bavarian regulatory standards.
