Meiningen is a town in the southern part of the state of Thuringia, Germany. It has a population of around 21,000 and is the capital of the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district. From 1680 to 1920, Meiningen was the capital of the Duchy (and briefly of the Free State) of Saxe-Meiningen.
Meiningen is considered the cultural, judicial and financial centre of southern Thuringia and is economically reliant on mechanical engineering, high-tech industry and tourism. The city lies in the linguistic and cultural area of Franconia.
It is home to the only surviving locomotive works in Germany and was where the boiler for the British Tornado was built.
