Bauhaus Lantern Walk*

With the founding of the Deutsches Kaiserreich in 1871, Weimar became the symbol of an all-German culture. As a result, every epoch and political system attempted to leave decisive accents of the prevailing ideology in the city. Particularly impressive are the ambivalences that created the 20th century.
This guided city walk seeks to convey Weimar as a politically absorbed place and to point to the traces left by the different political attitudes in Weimar, architecturally in particular.

We start our tour at the Theaterplatz with the Deutsches Nationaltheater and walk across the Goetheplatz and through the Weimarhallenpark to the former Gauforum. From there we continue on the marketplace towards the Park an der Ilm with the Mensa im Park and end up at the Henry van de Velde art school buildings, which were the seat of the Bauhaus in Weimar.

*Due the lighting conditions the Lantern Walk starts in December and January at 5:00 p.m., in Februar and November at 6:30 p.m., in March and October at 7:00 p.m., in April and September at 8.30 p.m., in May and August at 9 p.m. and in June/July at 9.30 p.m. The lantern is included in the costs.
