From February 1919 to July 1919, the German National Assembly met in the newly created German National Theatre in Weimar and formulated a constitution, parts of which are still valid today. What happened in the city during these five months, where were important institutions?
The guided tour aims to shed light not only on the political but also the social-cultural environment of the Weimar years and, starting with the founding of the first German republic, to give an insight into the years when Germany was literally dancing on the volcano.
We start at Theaterplatz at the memorial plaque of Walter Gropius and then move towards the Weimarhalle, the largest building project of the 1920s. We then walk past the Residenzschloß towards the Platz der Demokratie (Democracy Square), where the first Thuringian parliament was located. Our tour continues past the Tempelherrenhaus to the art school buildings where the State Bauhaus was active. Our tour ends there.
*There is also the possibility that I can guide you in the
» Haus der Weimarer Republik if you book in advance.
