In Asbach you will find one of the few areas along the former borderline of the "Iron Curtain" that still looks like in the times of the "Cold War". It is a great museum and at one side you will see the left overs of several hundred meters of the "Wall" and even that strip of plain earth without any grass that would show all traces of feet having crossed there is still maintained there today. There is also a nice collection of cars , helicopters and other accesories used by the border-controls of both sides.

Horch-Museum is an interesting car-museum in Zwickau / Thueringen and most people dont known that Horch used to be one of the most noble and expensive car-manufacturers of Germany. August Horch had left the company "Horch" in order to build his own cars and because he was not allowed to build them under the well-known name of Horch he used that same expression (in german horch means Listen !) in latin : and the wellknown name of AUDI was born.
The Museum is open daily except Mondays:
from 09.30 am till 05.00pm

It is not only the interesting castle-ruins that take you back to medieval times in Hanstein. There is also a scenic country-inn that combines medieval architecture and excellent food of today ! The building of Klausenhof in Hanstein is a special sight by itself : an old restaurant and inn, beautifully decorated and partly rebuilt in the old style you really have the feeling to be back in the 17th century or even before that time. The restaurant has also a few rooms to rent and under the roof you may rent the so-called "Kreuzfahrerlager" , that is a large room with a wonderful doublebed and various small rooms next to it, where the ordinary people may sleep in one bed next to the other. That is rented for parties of people, who will also order a feast or banquet in the restaurant, see my pics for the great interior and fine details. Leave a Comment

Automobile Welt Eisenach is an interesting car-museum that you will find in the outskirts of Eisenach. This lovely museum was built inside the former Wartburg-production-halls. The production of cars in Eisenach has a long tradition : The first car was built there in 1899, the famous Wartburg-Motorenwagen with 5 HP. More pupolar cars that were built in Eisenach : BMW Dixi, the BMW Roadstar 328. After WW II BMW Eisenach had to change its name into EMW and finally Wartburg became the 2nd most popular car in DDR after the more popular Trabbi.
I enjoyed that car-museum very much, one of my favorites was a so called camping-edition of a Wartburg, that was even exported to Great Britain ( my last picture)
The museum is open for visitors
Tue-Sun : 11.00a.m. - 05.00p.m.
entrance-fee is 3 Euros

Dont miss Gotha, it is close to Weimar and Eisenach and it is also a lovely town with a large palace and many interesting buildings. I had a short stop-over there and was impressed by the lovely townhall, that you may see on my 2nd picture. About 800 meters from the townhall you may see the impressive castle / palace of Gotha, it is built on a narrow hill overlooking the town and you may walk freely and without restrictions through its courts and parks. The tourist-information is in the lovely building that you may see on my last picture, it is opposite of the townhall ! Leave a Comment

There is a small museum about Albert Schweitzer in Weimar, just a few hundred meters from the Schloss.
Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965) had been already Dr. of Philosophy and Dr. of Theology and an excellent organist, when he read an arcticle about the bad conditions in African hospitals. So he began to study medicine and built several hospitals in Lamberene.
In 1952 he got the Nobel Price for peace.
The museum is open for visitors
November-April : Mon-Fri 11.00a.m. - 04.00p.m.
May till October : Mon-Fri 11.00a.m. - 05.00p.m. Leave a Comment

 old Kurhaus, Georgenthal by elgin99
The house was a holiday home up to reunification. Now it is revealed to the decay. Nevertheless, one can suspect the old splendour. Leave a Comment

 prehistorical, excavations
fields of saurian, Bro by elgin99
By the discovery of the forms of saurian in the Bromacker field could be proved that Europe with North America and the other today's continents formed a gigantic land mass which is called supercontinent Pangäa. One of the most spectacular findings was the entire skeleton of one saurian, named Diadectes absitus, which lived before approx. 290 Mil. years. Leave a Comment
