Weimar

Weimar

Weimar is located at the foot of the Ettersberg mountain and along the Ilm River in the central German state of Thuringia. It is here that Germany’s first unified republic—the Weimar Republic—and the country’s first democratic constitution were born. This city is also the birthplace of modern design—Bauhaus—which has made a tremendous contribution to the development of world art and design.

Weimar is a picturesque, quaint city filled with cultural charm. Medieval buildings nestled among trees and flowers, idyllic parks with a pastoral atmosphere, and statues standing in parks and along streets all add endless allure to Weimar. The city boasts countless architectural highlights, numerous museums, archives, and former residences of notable figures. Visitors can explore Goethe’s House, Weimar Town Hall, Goethe’s Garden, Schiller’s House, Weimar Palace, Liszt’s House, the Roman House, the Duchess Anna Amalia Library, the New Weimar Museum, the Nietzsche Archive, and the Goethe-Schiller Archive. The Palace Museum and the City Museum house a wealth of national art collections. In front of the German National Theatre stands the famous statue of Goethe and Schiller, created by renowned sculptor Ernst Rietschel.

Weimar holds an unparalleled and enduringly significant place in German history, culture, and politics, and its renown is universally acknowledged—perhaps there is no other city in the world, past or present, quite like it.
