The dark days of the Middle Ages with knights and castles are always particularly popular and exciting, providing plenty of material for the imagination. With the Wartburg craft sheet, you and your pupils can build a three-dimensional replica of one of the most famous castles in Germany - Wartburg Castle near Eisenach.
Wartburg Castle - a piece of history!
Wartburg Castle is located on a mountain very close to Eisenach. It is closely linked to the history of Germany. Elisabeth of Thuringia lived at the castle from 1211 to 1227. She was later canonized. In 1521/22, Martin Luther hid in the castle under the name "Junker Jörg". He spent 11 weeks here translating the New Testament into German. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe also visited Wartburg Castle several times, first in 1777. These connections can be meaningfully illustrated with the Wartburg craft sheet.

Wartburg Castle - legends of the past!
The legends surrounding Wartburg Castle are particularly exciting for schoolchildren. One legend goes back to the building of the castle in the 11th century by Ludwig the Knight. As the landgrave liked the hill near Eisenach very much, he decided without further ado to build a castle there. However, the mountain already belonged to another owner. Ludwig the Knight devised a trick. He had earth brought in from his land to claim that the castle had been built on his land.
This short legend will make working with the Wartburg construction sheet even more fun for the pupils and arouse their curiosity about historical details.
Creative learning - interesting and creative!
It is not always possible to visit this famous and historic castle with the pupils themselves. So bring a piece of history into the classroom with the Wartburg craft sheet.
