Germany is home to numerous historically significant sites of remembrance, such as Wartburg Castle, but also the Kyffhäuser, located on the border between Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt. It is an impressive 19th-century complex of monuments set in the sandstone mountains. The lecture will explore its origins, significance, and its recent co-optation by the political right.
