Surely not even the two mysterious gentlemen themselves would have ever suspected that their stay here would last more than thirty years when they arrived in Hildburghausen on February 7, 1807. That evening, an elegantly dressed couple checked into the English Court Hotel and, from then on, attracted attention with their strange hermit lifestyle. This very conspicuously secluded lifestyle intensified after they moved to the castle in the neighboring village of Einhausen. Above all, no one saw the always-veiled lady. She died in the solitude of Einhausen Castle on November 25, 1837, and was buried—according to her wishes—on Hildburghausen's town hill.

Above Brno on the old railway line, hidden in a beech and elm forest, is the Brno Rock Cellar. This was used to store potatoes and beer from what was then the Volk brewery. During the Second World War it served as an air raid shelter.

Dark Count and Dark Countess is the name for a mysterious couple who lived at Eishausen Castle near Hildburghausen from 1810 to 1837 and rarely appeared in public. Because of their reclusive life and their unclear identity, they were known in literature as “the Dark Counts” (Comte et Comtesse des Ténèbres). For a long time she was considered Marie Thérèse Charlotte of France, daughter of the executed French King Louis XVI. and his wife Marie-Antoinette, which has now been refuted through anthropological and molecular genetic analyses.

There used to be breweries and corresponding cellars for storage in every town. There are some here, some are very well maintained, others less so. We can only hope that such traditions live on. In rural areas, cellars are used even more frequently. This also raises the question of what use the cellars still have. A bat roost is often made out of it.
