At Theaterplatz, discover why Weimar was chosen as the venue for the drafting of Germany's first democratic constitution and the significance of this event for Weimar.
In front of the Goethe and Schiller monument, the landmark of Weimar, receive detailed information about the “spirit of Weimar” and its significance in the period from 1919 to 1933 – the Weimar Republic.
In front of the traditional Hotel Elephant, learn why Adolf Hitler and the National Socialists left their mark here as early as 1925.
Understand why the Nazis had the Buchenwald concentration camp built just five miles north of Weimar as early as 1937.
At the former “Gauforum”, explore why the National Socialists chose Weimar as an “experimental field for Germania” and why new thousand-year Reich history was to be written in this city.
