History.
Coburg Village is a ministry of healing, hospitality and community through partnerships in caring.
We are a rich combination of the old and new. While our community itself opened in September 1999, our roots in Wartburg Lutheran Services gives us a 125-year history of service to seniors of all faiths and walks of life. As a new faith-based organization with a long history, Coburg Village addresses the physical, spiritual, and emotional dimensions of the entire community with genuine respect, heartfelt compassion, and cheerful goodwill.
The secure and welcoming environment of Coburg Village revolves around individuals’ choice and encourages an active and independent lifestyle. In support of that independence, a wide variety of services are available to all residents from a staff of caring people who bring a wealth of expertise to their fields of service.
Our Name.
Coburg Village draws its name from the town of Coburg in Saxony, Germany – a place that played a crucial role not only in European history, but also in the growth of the Lutheran movement. First mentioned by name in 1056, Coburg was for six centuries the seat of government of the dukes of Saxony. In 1920, it united voluntarily with Bavaria.
Coburg has special cause to commemorate Martin Luther. In the spring of 1530, when the Elector of Saxony came to the Imperial Diet in Augsburg together with a large delegation, Luther (who had been banned) was forced to remain behind at the Saxon border. He took lodgings in Coburg Fortress, which was built in the 12th century, overlooking the town. The complex comprised the main stronghold in the east and outer defenses in the west.
Luther spent six months, from April to October 1530, at Coburg Castle, while the Imperial Diet was assembled in Augsburg. He kept himself continually informed by means of messengers about what was happening at the Imperial Diet and gave instructions as to how the negotiations were to be conducted. On October 4, he left Coburg in the Elector's entourage.
What inspired Martin Luther the whole of his working life is reflected in detail by this period. The 165 days of seclusion at the Castle gave him an opportunity to devote himself to many different questions. Thus the time spent in Coburg proved to be one of the particularly fruitful epochs of his life.
The fortress was frequently altered throughout the years until the 18th century, when it ceased to be of military importance. It was renovated between 1838 and 1844 by Carl Alexander Heideloff and between 1908 and 1924 by Bodo Ebhardt. Visitors to the Castle nowadays will be able to see the Luther Room, the art treasures in the various collections and the royal building with the Luther Chapel. Interesting features of Coburg itself include Ehrenburg Palace and the 14th century main municipal Church of St. Moriz.
A home should reflect the tastes and preferences of those who live within its walls. At Coburg Village, we take this credo quite literally.

The residences in the Coburg Village community afford a great deal of comfort at a reasonable monthly rate. But a desirable address is not all you get for your money. Not by a long shot.
When you take up residence at a Coburg Village apartment or cottage, your monthly fee buys you a full range of resident support services. So from the day you move in, you'll have access to all the necessities of the good life.
Utilities.
Tired of keeping track of power, heat, and water bills? You've come to the right place. Because at Coburg Village, all utilities and property taxes are included in your monthly fee – heating, air conditioning, electricity, and water. That means less time writing checks…and more time for doing the things you like to do.
Dining.
Here's another essential component of the good life: good food. Even though your apartment will have its own kitchen, you do not need to cook every day.
To complement the pleasures of your lifestyle at Coburg Village, your monthly occupancy fee includes one expertly-prepared meal per day, which you may enjoy at any of three different dining locations within our community. There's the Village Café...Café Luther for breakfast or lunch, the Club Dining Room for buffet dining and socializing, and our elegant cathedral-ceilinged Dining Room for a more formal atmosphere. The choice is yours. If you are looking to celebrate a special event in the company of your family or friends, we also offer a private dining room...The Wartburg Room for just those occasions.
We also provide catering services for your private parties. Just contact us for full details.
And of course your family and friends are always welcome to join you in any of our dining venues for a nominal fee.
Household Services.
Most people's idea of the perfect retirement doesn't include a lot of household chores. That's why Coburg Village does include it in your monthly residence fee.
Housekeeping.
We provide housekeeping services for all residents twenty-six times a year. That way your home gets a thorough cleaning on a very regular basis. This service makes for a much more livable living environment, with a lot less effort on your part.
Linen and Laundry Service.
Though all Coburg Village residences feature a washer and dryer, you have better things to do than laundry. That's why weekly laundry service for towels and linens is included in your monthly fee.
