[edit] History
In 1810 a princess of Saxe-Hildburghausen, Therese, was married to king Ludwig I of Bavaria; this event is the (almost forgotten) reason for the Oktoberfest, held annually in Munich (city), Bavaria. In 1826 the states of Thuringia were reorganised: the last ruler of Saxe-Altenburg died without an heir; the duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen became his successor, but he had to cease his own realm to Saxe-Meiningen. In 1868 four districts were established in the duchy of Saxe-Meiningen. Hildburghausen was one of these districts, and roughly identical to the former duchy. It remained almost unchanged until 1993, when the former district of Suhl was dissolved and most of its municipalities joined the district.
