    The fire station at the Wartburg has a long tradition. As early as the beginning of the 19th century there were noise cannons on the ramparts, which were ignited in the event of a fire in the town and its surroundings, or could use the shots to call for help in the event of a fire in the castle.

      The cannons on the rampart of the Wartburg

      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."

        Directly in front of the Wartburg castle gate is the rampart with several cannons that are always worth a photo.

        There are other cannons in the castle area that can also be viewed.
