Hi, I am Sabine and welcome to my city! That's me, a tour guide who has been working mainly in Jena and Weimar for more than ten years now. It is the area where I grew up while always having a strong interest in history, English and French languages. However, due to several circumstances I studied civil engineering in the first place. My early wish became true after the reunification of Germany with a training to become a foreign languages correspondent combined with a few months working and living in Great Britain. Back in my hometown Jena I finally got the license to work as a tour guide. Since that time I have continuously discovered something new in the history of Jena, Weimar and Erfurt. Amongst my guests, there has been the Canadian ophthalmologist, who had worked for all his professional life with instruments made by the Jena founded Zeiss company. Also a traveler from the US who had followed the footsteps of Napoléon and his battles and wanted to see the battlefields of 1806, a journalist from Belgium who wrote about BAUHAUS architecture and a professor from Japan whose field of research was Classicism and Romanticism. He wanted to see the places where those two epochs once started - to mention some of them. With each of those guests I became a little bit prouder to do this beautiful job in this particular area. I look forward welcoming you one day. Best regards! Sabine - Certificate "Tour Guide of Jena". - Audited foreign language correspondent. - Certified According to DIN EN 15565. - Church certificate "Lutherfinder". I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Weimar tour

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.
