Walk through the old town of Weimar

Stroll with us through wintry Weimar and meet well-known personalities such as Goethe, Schiller, Wieland and Herder.

We walk past the Residenzschloss and the Duchess Anna Amalia Library to the residential houses of the Weimar prince poets, the city church of St. Peter & Paul and of course to the German National Theater with the famous monument that is right in front of it!

Celebrities on the Ilm - Who lived where in Weimar?

It was not only since Duke Carl August brought Goethe to Weimar that the city developed into an attraction for many great minds from different epochs. Who were these people and where did they live?

We start our foray into the market, where the famous Renaissance house is located, in which Lucas Cranach lived, we pay Martin Luther and Johann Peter Eckermann a visit, before we finally visit the old privy councilor.

The early Bauhaus and modernism in Weimar

Accompany me on the trail of the early Bauhaus and discover what was created in Weimar from 1919 to 1925, why the circle is blue and not red and what Mazdaznan is all about.

Based on the idea of the "New Weimar" and the foundation of the arts and crafts seminar, our tour begins at the Henry van de Velde buildings - and leads us across the park to the Tempelherrenhaus, the former studio of Johannes Itten.
