Altenburg, District capital in Thuringia, Germany
Altenburg stretches along the Pleiße river at 202 meters elevation, featuring a medieval castle complex, historic city center, and Gründerzeit architecture.
The settlement earned recognition when Emperor Frederick Barbarossa visited multiple times between 1165 and 1188, establishing it as an early German city.
The Lindenau Museum displays European art collections, while the Playing Card Museum exhibits the manufacturing heritage of this card-producing center.
