Ernestine Dukes Today
Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Saxe-Meiningen, and Saxe-Altenburg were the remaining duchies at the formation of the Weimar republic. In 1991, the Altenburg line died out, leaving only three:
- Michael, Prince of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, also senior agnate of the House of Wettin.
- Andreas, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
- Konrad, Prince of Saxe-Meiningen

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“In times past there were rituals of passage that conducted a boy into manhood, where other men passed along the wisdom and responsibilities that needed to be shared. But today we have no rituals. We are not conducted into manhood; we simply find ourselves there.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
