Once a land of great power, Thuringia fell to Frankish conquest in the 6th century and remained a duchy throughout much of its medieval period before being dissolved in 1918. The book traces the region's evolution from ancient times as a stronghold of the Hermunduri tribe, through the establishment of a Thuringian state, its division and absorption into Saxony and Prussia, up to its 20th-century role in the German Empire and Weimar Republic. The author illustrates the political, social, and economic developments that have shaped the region in vivid detail. The book also explores Thuringia's literary and artistic heritage, including the works of Goethe and Schiller, and its unique architectural landmarks. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive overview of Thuringia's rich and complex past, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in German history and culture.
