        The German Nobel Prize winner for literature (1912), the poet Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946), stayed in the spa town of Bad Liebenstein several times between 1924 and 1927.
        Here, on the Aschenberg, he enjoyed the beautiful panoramic view of the foothills of the Thuringian Forest with the Zechstein reef Altenstein and the basalt peaks of the Thuringian Rhön and was inspired for his poetic work.
        In 2007, his granddaughter Ingeborg Hauptmann and the Gerhart Hauptmann Society visited this favorite place of the great German poet.
