Thuringia, in central Germany, weaves a forested tapestry with Erfurt as its capital, famed for Luther’s reformation, Bach’s organ notes, and Wartburg Castle’s medieval echo. Known for bratwurst, glassblowing, and Goethe’s Weimar, its economy blends manufacturing, tourism, and small crafts amid rolling hills. Its fairy-tale towns and Soviet scars charm quietly. Thuringia’s cultured heart glows soft.
