The Frescos in Wartburg Castle, created by Moritz Ludwig von Schwind in the mid-19th century, are a significant series of wall paintings that adorn the interiors of the famed Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. Executed between 1854 and 1855, these frescos are part of a larger project to renovate and embellish the castle, which holds a central place in German history and culture. Wartburg Castle is particularly renowned for its association with Martin Luther, who translated the New Testament into German while in hiding there.

Moritz Ludwig von Schwind, an Austrian painter associated with the Romantic movement, was commissioned to create a series of frescos that would capture the essence of Germanic and medieval legends, as well as the spirit of the castle's rich historical past. His work at Wartburg Castle includes scenes from the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, who lived at the castle in the early 13th century, and illustrations of the famous Singer's War (Sängerkrieg), a legendary contest among minstrels that is said to have taken place at Wartburg.

The frescos are characterized by their vivid storytelling and romanticized portrayal of medieval life and legends. Schwind's use of color and attention to detail reflect the Romantic era's fascination with the past and its emphasis on emotion and individualism. These works are considered to be among the artist's most important and are notable for their contribution to the revival of fresco painting in the 19th century.

The Frescos in Wartburg Castle are not only a testament to Schwind's artistic skill but also to the 19th-century movement of historicism, which sought to rekindle interest in the nation's history and heritage. Today, the frescos are an integral part of the visitor experience at Wartburg Castle, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and they continue to be admired for their beauty and historical significance.
