Altenstein is a district of Bad Liebenstein in Thuringia .

The Altenstein district is located about two kilometers north of the city center of the spa town of Bad Liebenstein in the Wartburg district . It consists of Altenstein Castle with the outbuildings of the former Court Marshal's Office , which now houses the park administration as a branch of the Thuringian Palaces and Gardens Foundation with offices and workshops, a residential building on the Ökonomiewiese, two restaurants, the currently vacant Waldhaus and Altensteiner Park . The Steinbacher sports field was also laid out on a meadow at the northern entrance to Altensteiner Park.

In the building complex of the Hofmarschallamt there is an information point for the Thuringian Forest Nature Park . The park administration rooms are located in the west wing.

The neighboring Waldhotel Schloss Altenstein and the so-called Waldhaus to the east are hotel buildings. The extensive area of ​​the Altensteiner Park has a road and path network with a total length of 20 km. The number of permanent residents in the Altenstein Castle district is less than 20 people.

As early as 1923, the villages of Schweina , Steinbach and Bad Liebenstein were merged for the first time . This administrative reform was revised in 1924. A second regional reform was carried out in 1950 when it was incorporated into the neighboring Schweina, which was now called Bad Liebenstein II. On March 31, 1974 this connection with Schweina was dissolved again. Because of its importance for the spa business, the park area and thus also Altenstein Castle remained with the city of Bad Liebenstein.
