Overview of your Weimar tour:

From the beginning of the 20th century, Weimar was the sky laboratory for avant-garde European artists and architects. In the aftermath of the WW1 it is in Weimar that the "Bauhaus" university was born, then the Weimar Republic with the creation of the 1st Constitution of the German Nation. . . but it is also in Weimar that will be known the concentration camp "Buchenwald" and the city will be sadly famous to be baptized "Capital of the Führer". The period of the 20th century was overwhelming for Europeans but particularly for Germans, from the defeat of the 1WW and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1918 until the surrender of the 2WW in 1945. Nazism is synonym of shame in the world's collective unconscious and it is difficult to approach this period of history without emotions. It's crucial that you take this tour if you want to have the perspective of an expat who has studied psychological and socio-economic mechanisms extensively and get an educated knowledge on this tragic period in history.
