Hildburghausen, District capital in Thuringia, Germany.
Hildburghausen rises 380 meters above sea level between the mountain chains of Rhön and Thuringian Forest, surrounded by dense forests and hills.
The town originated around 900 AD and received official town privileges in 1324 from the Counts of Henneberg, who built protective walls around the settlement.
The ducal palace, constructed between 1685 and 1695, stands as a central architectural element, representing the period when Hildburghausen served as a residence for Ernestine dukes.
The town maintains direct road connections to surrounding regions through well-maintained highways, while offering multiple accommodation options for visitors throughout the district.
