[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4158028, member: 7724"]the quote dates from the 1848 revolution when strict censorship by the authorities was pressed upon the population; many gone to prison for their free speech. the connection to the Wartburg is of course Luther as the one and only German saint and liberator. the clay-pit was rather small, too narrow to the old walls and ruins and only given to the family because they were involved in the restauration of the Wartburg. the clay is obviously of mediocre quality. for an eventual listing the stress should be put on Luther and the Wartburg.[/QUOTE]
