Weimar – Relaxing in nature
Classical architecture and green landscapes
Weimar is a culturally and historically outstanding city in Thuringia and, with around 66,000 inhabitants, is one of the state's most important cultural centers. The city is known worldwide for Weimar Classicism, shaped by figures such as Goethe, Schiller, Herder, and Wieland, whose places of activity are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Classical Weimar." Besides the Classical period, the Bauhaus also plays a central role in the city's history, as some of the most important cornerstones of modern design were laid here. Weimar combines literary and artistic heritage with a vibrant present – museums, parks, historic houses, and cultural institutions characterize the cityscape along the Ilm River. Furthermore, Weimar is associated with significant political events, such as the National Assembly of 1919, which gave its name to the Weimar Republic.
