DescriptionWartburg College is a nationally recognized four-year liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Jack R. Ohle is the college's 15th president. Established in 1852, the college is named after the Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany. The castle is closely tied to Lutheran history through Martin Luther, who spent 10 months there in seclusion during the stormy days of the Reformation. St. Elizabeth (1207-1231) is also associated with the Wartburg Castle, where she lived as the wife of Ludwig IV, a Thuringian landgrave. Inspired by St. Francis' teachings, she spent much of her life ministering to the less fortunate. After the death of Ludwig, she left the Wartburg Castle and became a Franciscan. She was canonized in 1235.
