You cannot discover Weimar without getting deeper in the époque of Classism. Feel the spirit of their most important representatives while standing in front of the Goethe- and the Schiller House. Learn about the significance of their contemporaries. What was the role of the ducal family in this process, and where is their castle? I will show you. Two generations later Weimar became well known for musicians including Franz Liszt and Nepomuk Hummel. One hundred years ago, Henry van de Velde and Walter Gropius wrote architectural history in this cosy little town. I will tell you why particularly there. This terrific development of a tiny spot in the middle of the Federal State of Thuringia started much earlier with the reformation of the Christian Church triggered by Martin Luther. Get to know this story while seeing Herder's Church with its beautiful altarpiece by Lucas Cranach and imagine Johann Sebastian Bach playing the organ in this holy room.
You will see: - Herder's Church (Cranach's Altarpiece, grave of Luther's supporter John Frederic the Magnanimous) - market square (town hall, Cranach's last residence, Hotel Elephant, Bust of Bach) - Town Castle (new part and old part) - the Dukes House (residence of the duke after the fire) - Anna-Amalia-Library - residence of Charlotte von Stein (Goethe's soulmate) - Franz Liszt's House - BAUHAUS University - Goethe's House - Schiller's House - Wittumspalais (Duchess Anna-Amalia's place after the fire) - National Theatre with the Statue of Goethe and Schiller - Jacob's Cemetery (graveside of Friedrich Schiller, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Goethe's wedding church)
