Gotha, District capital in Thuringia, Germany
Gotha lies at the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest, stretching across 935 square kilometers with an elevation of 300 meters above sea level.
The city emerged from a Frankish settlement in 775, developed into a trading center along the Via Regia, and became the residence of Ernestine Wettins from 1640.
The Friedenstein Castle houses extensive art collections and historical artifacts, representing the architectural heritage of German Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The central railway junction connects Gotha to major cities like Erfurt and Eisenach, while maintaining a network of local transportation services.
The Almanach de Gotha, published here since 1763, documented European aristocracy and became the reference publication for noble genealogy.
