ALTENSTEIN

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 763 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALTENSTEIN , a castle upon a rocky
mountain
  in Saxe-
Meiningen
 , on the
south
 -western slope of the Thuringerwald, not far from Eisenach. It is the summer residence of the dukes of
Meiningen
 , and is surrounded by a noble park, which contains, among other objects of
interest
 , a remarkable under-ground cavern, 500 ft.
long
 , through which flows a large and rapid stream.
Boniface
 , the apostle of the Germans, lived and preached at Altenstein in 724; and near by is the place where, in 1521, Luther was seized, by the order of the elector Frederick the Wise, to be carried off to the Wartburg. An old
beech
  called " Luther's tree," which tradition connected with the reformer, was blown down in 1841, and a small
monument
  now stands in its place.
