Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEININGEN , a town of Germany,
capital
  of the duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, romantically situated in forests on the right bank of the Werra, 40 M. S. of Eisenach by rail. Pop. (1905), 15,989. It consists of an old town and several handsome suburbs, but much of the former has been rebuilt since a fire in 1874. The
chief
  building is the Elisabethenburg, or the old ducal palace, containing several collections; it was built mainly about 168o, although part of it is much older. Other buildings are the Henneberger Hans with a collection of antiquities, and the town church, with twin towers, built by the emperor
Henry
  II. in the 11th century. The theatre enjoyed for many years (18751890) a European reputation for its actors and scenic effects. The English garden, a beautiful public park, contains the ducal
mortuary
  chapel and several monuments, including busts of Brahms and Jean Paul Richter.
Meiningen, which was subject to the bishops of Wtirzburg (10001542), came into the possession of the duke of Saxony in 1583, having in the meantime belonged to the
counts
  of Henneberg. At the
partition
  of 166o it fell to the share of Saxe-Altenburg, and in 168o became the
capital
  of Saxe-Meiningen.
