Sonneberg is a town located in the southern part of Thuringia, Germany, nestled in the Thuringian Forest. The city has a rich industrial heritage, particularly known for its historic toy-making industry that dates back to the 16th century. This tradition is well-documented in the German Toy Museum (Deutsches Spielzeugmuseum), one of the oldest toy museums in Germany.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Sonneberg was a global center for toy manufacturing, earning it the nickname "Toy City" (Spielzeugstadt). The town's cultural landscape has been shaped by this unique industrial heritage, which continues to influence its identity today.
Beyond its toy-making history, Sonneberg is also home to a notable astronomical observatory and features well-preserved historic architecture in its town center.
