I wonder if Martin Luther's rooms were still preserved ?

[violetta]

you are lucky, eric. coburg was the last stage in my german tour so i stayed there a very short time `cause i had to go back home to attend a celebration devoted to the 1st world war. as i live in poland i hope to visit germany next year again.i made 2 german tours visiting a few cities uring each tour. so coburg is still waiting to be explored properly

Yes I was. Especially to visit the Coburg Graves (where it is usually locked). I took photos of the coffins of Affie, Marie Coburg and their son young Affie.

Give yourself at least two days. Some places may be closed on your day of arrival.

It is part of Bodo Eckhardt's "Fuerstenbau", created for Carl Eduard in the 1920s. I was very impressed when I saw it - the Fuerstenbau I mean, not just the bathroom! :-) Pictures of it when furnished with CE's things do not look so good, but now it is arranged to show off the very skillful blend of medieval and Deco/Arts and Crafts - very stylish I thought, and the castle would be nice  to live in, up there on the hilltop! Coburg has a very nice collection of castles and palaces; Ehrenburg is possibly the best IMHO - perfect symmetry.....

Seems like Charlie Coburg had good taste in bathrooms. I wonder what Marie Coburg's bathroom would look like ?
