Eisenach is a town in Thuringia, Germany, with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. It is home to the famous Wartburg castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. The town has a convenient location at a cross-roads between the Thuringian Forest and the Hainich mountains, making it a significant place for trade and commerce. Visitors can explore the town's planned grid of streets and alleys, which were established in the late 12th century. Eisenach is also the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach and has a strong connection to the life of St. Elizabeth, who lived in the town between 1211 and 1228. The town has a population of around 40,000 inhabitants and is situated near the former Inner German border
