Many of Weimar's visitors are fascinated by the appearance and nature of the city, which, despite its political and cultural significance for Germany, has not lost its character and sympathetic cosiness. On the contrary, everything seems to be composed and arranged without being provincial. It creates an atmosphere that inspires and stimulates lingering. But how did this image of the city come about and what has contributed to making Weimar a place we like so much?
Based on urban development since the Middle Ages, I would like to explore the old fortification walls of Weimar with you and bring you closer to the architectural and urban planning features and details that have left their mark, especially in the 19th century and which structure the city to this day.
