Hildburghausen

Hildburghausen is a small town in southern Thuringia, Germany, near the Bavarian border. From 1680 to 1826 it was the residence of the dukes of Saxe-Hildburghausen, whose daughter Therese married the future King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1810. After the duchy was merged into Saxe-Meiningen, the publisher Joseph Meyer ran his Bibliographisches Institut there from 1828 to 1874.
