Steinbach is a town and former municipality in the Wartburgkreis district of Thuringia, Germany. Since 31 December 2012, it is part of Bad Liebenstein.
Wartburgkreis is a Kreis (district) in the west of Thuringia, Germany. Neighboring districts are the districts Unstrut-Hainich, Gotha, Schmalkalden-Meiningen, and the districts Fulda, Hersfeld-Rotenburg and Werra-Meißner in Hesse. The district-free city Eisenach is nearly completely surrounded by the district.
In most German states, the primary administrative subdivision is the Landkreis ; the exceptions are the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein, which use the term Kreis. Most major cities in Germany are not part of any Kreis, but instead themselves perform functions like those of the Kreise; such a city is referred to as a Kreisfreie Stadt or Stadtkreis.
Thuringia, officially the Free State of Thuringia, is a state of Germany.
