Art and culture define the atmosphere in the more than thousand-year-old royal seat. Wide avenues with prestigious buildings alternate with small alleyways and half-timbered houses. The English-style parks with numerous fountains and monuments invite you to take a stroll. Meiningen became famous through the theater reform of Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen. The theater museum "Zauberwelt der Kulisse" gives an impression of the theatrical art of the "Meininger".
