<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2667147, member: 39&quot;]Right, today Coburg is in Bavaria - at that time however the city was part of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In the 1918 revolution the two territories (Coburg, Gotha) became two separate republics, and two years later the former joined Bavaria while the latter joined the newly founded Thuringia.
