Eisenach - Schloss

At the north end of the Markt in Eisenach stands the Schloss (1742-51), in relatively plain Baroque style. In the left-hand wing is the Thuringian Museum, with Thuringian faience and porcelain of the 18th and 19th centuries, Thuringian glass of several centuries and a picture gallery (mainly old German masters). There are tablets commemorating Goethe's friend Charlotte von Stein and Luise von Göchhausen (who copied the original version of Goethe's "Faust" and thus preserved it for posterity), both of whom were born in Eisenach.
