On this private walking tour, immerse yourself in the light and dark sides of Weimar's past, encountering the “two-facedness” of this city at every turn.
Experience Weimar not only as a city of poets and thinkers, but also as a city of judges and executioners, where the contrast between culture and barbarism is strikingly evident in front of Schiller's House.
At Theaterplatz, find out why Weimar was chosen as the venue for the drafting of Germany's first democratic constitution and what significance this event had for Weimar.
In front of the Goethe–Schiller Monument, the landmark of Weimar, get detailed information about the “Spirit of Weimar” and its significance in the period from 1919–1933 – the Weimar Republic.
In front of the historic Hotel Elephant, learn why Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were leaving 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”, find out why the Nazis chose Weimar as a “testing ground for Germania” and why a new thousand-year history of the Reich was to be written in this city.
