The town of Schleusingen was granted town charter in 1412. From 1245 to 1583, Schleusingen was the seat of the Counts of Henneberg. The castle was strategically located at the junction of the Erfurt-Würzburg trade route. The early modern Bertoldsburg Castle is managed by the Thuringian Palaces and Gardens Foundation and houses the Natural History Museum. The last Henneberg count, Georg Ernst, founded the Gymnasium (grammar school) in 1577, making it one of the four oldest educational institutions in Germany.

Eisfeld Castle, a Franconian manor house from the 9th century, is essentially a medieval castle complex. The Stone House (palace) was built around 1090 and the keep in the 12th century. The castle has undergone many changes over the centuries. Since 1316, with the privilege of walling the town, the castle has formed the north-eastern part of Eisfeld's new town. In 1360 the bower was built and in 1558 the "new building" was built, which opens onto the town through a vaulted gateway built in 1580 and today forms the gatehouse. The economic wing (kitchen wing), built in 1555, between the palace and bower, gave the castle complex a closed horseshoe shape. The kitchen wing was replaced in 1886 by a prison building in the Wilhelminian style. Source: https://www.museum-eisfeld.info/seite/318423/schloss.html

One of the landmarks of the town of Eisfeld is the castle, which is essentially a medieval castle complex. Today it houses the town's museum with an extensive porcelain exhibition, historical workshops, toys, town history and regional folklore. The museum is a treasure trove that is waiting to be discovered with many opportunities to try things out, marvel and learn. Take your time to discover Eisfeld Castle. The Eisfeld Museum also includes the Otto Ludwig Poet Memorial for the poet born in Eisfeld in 1813 and the Inner German Border Memorial - Eisfeld-Rottenbach Border Crossing, which are also worth a visit.

For anyone interested in history, a visit to the ancestral castle of the Henneberg-Schleusinger line is a must. This exhibition is quite manageable, but is due to be expanded and remodeled in the near future - according to the friendly employee at the counter.

At the confluence of the Erle and Nahe, in the middle of the small medieval town of Schleusingen, stands the mighty Bertholdsburg Castle. From the 13th century onwards it served as the ancestral seat of the Counts of Henneberg and is the oldest residential castle in Thuringia. In the 15th and 16th centuries the fortified castle was converted into an early modern castle in the Renaissance style. Today the castle houses the Natural History Museum. The 40-metre-high main tower offers a picturesque view of the southern foothills of the Thuringian Forest.

Eisfeld is an old settlement that probably dates back to the Celts. It was first documented in 802 as Asifeld. As the old name suggests, Eisfeld does not come from "ice" but rather means "carrion". Pastor Justus Jonas, a close friend of Martin Luther, spent his final years here after being expelled. The town had difficulty recovering from the effects of the Thirty Years' War. It was almost wiped out during that time and only 1/5 of the inhabitants remained there.

Eisfeld is the highest town on the Werra and has a pretty, small old town. This is concentrated around the market place and the market street, as well as around the castle and the town church.
