Meiningen (DE)

Meiningen ([ˈmaɪnɪŋən]) is a town (24,538 inhabitants end 2021) in the southern part of the state of Thuringia, Germany. Meiningen is the capital and the largest town of the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district. From 1680 to 1920, Meiningen was the capital of the Duchy (and briefly of the Free State) of Saxe-Meiningen. Meiningen is considered the cultural, judicial and financial centre of southern Thuringia and thus hosts the state theatre, justice center, state archives, bank buildings and many museums. It is economically reliant on mechanical engineering, high-tech industry and tourism. The former municipalities Henneberg, Wallbach and Walldorf were merged into Meiningen in January 2019.
