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 communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
