Uwe Stein, master carpenter in the Wartburg construction workshop, presents his favorite object of the month of August 2020: "It looks a little threatening when you walk the last few meters up to the castle and see two cannons aimed at Eisenach. In fact, these guns had an important and "peaceful" function for a long time, because they were fired when a fire broke out in the city."
