Why visit
Gotha was a residence of the Ernestine Wettins from 1640 until the end of the monarchy in 1918, and the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha that takes its name from here spawned many European rulers.
Origins and history
Gotha has existed at least since the 8th century: it appears in a document signed by Charlemagne in 775 as Villa Gotaha, Old High German for «good waters». In the 11th century the Ludowingians received the village and established the city in the late 12th century.
