Tips
Stepfershausen is a district of the southern Thuringian district town of Meiningen in the Franconian south of Thuringia.Stepfershausen was first mentioned in 863 as Starcfridershusen. Parts of the 1200 m long village wall, built around 1600, have been preserved and are still up to 5 m high. A castle was the predecessor of the current church. The fortified churchyard, the high wall ring and the gate tower, which are still well preserved, emerged from it.
