Welcome to Weimar
Discover the cultural heart of Germany. Home to Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus movement. A UNESCO World Heritage city where history and culture come alive.
Why Weimar Matters
In today's world, even megacities with millions of residents can remain invisible outside their region. Yet Weimar, a town of barely 65,000 people, appears again and again in world history textbooks. The difference is not population, but significance.
These milestones make Weimar a rare case: a small, walkable city whose name stands for entire chapters of global culture — classicism, modernism, and democracy. Visitors come not because of scale, but because of meaning.
Weimar's influence rests on three globally recognized legacies:
Goethe & Schiller
Home of Germany's greatest writers, whose work shaped modern European literature and philosophy and helped define ideas of humanism that still influence education worldwide.
Bauhaus
Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus here, the design school that transformed art, architecture, and industrial design across the 20th century.
Weimar Republic
Birthplace of Germany's first democratic constitution, whose ideals and struggles remain a reference point in political history.
