Sonneberg, Rural district in Thuringia, Germany.
The Sonneberg district extends across 434 square kilometers of diverse landscapes at the southern edge of the Thuringian Forest, bordering Bavaria.
The district originated in 1868 through regional reorganization and experienced territorial changes after German reunification in 1990.
The German Toy Museum in Sonneberg preserves the legacy of the region's toy manufacturing heritage from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The district includes several municipalities such as Lauscha, Neuhaus am Rennweg, and Steinach, connected by an efficient road network.
Near Siegmundsburg stands the Dreistromstein marker, indicating the meeting point of three major river watersheds: Rhine, Weser, and Elbe.
