Weimar, a city rich in history and culture, holds many iconic landmarks that tell the story of Germany's past. In Walter Gropius' office in 1924, innovative ideas were born, shaping the future of architecture and design. The Bauhaus-University Weimar, constructed between 1904 and 1911, stands as a testament to the city's commitment to education. However, Weimar is not only known for its intellectual pursuits but also for its economic struggles. The One Million German Mark banknote from 1923 serves as a stark reminder of the hyperinflation that plagued the country during this time. The German Eagle symbolizes national pride and unity within Weimar's borders. It represents strength and resilience amidst turbulent times. Artistic beauty can be found throughout Weimar as well. The Monument to Franz Liszt, crafted by sculptor Hermann Hahn in Carrara marble in 1902, stands tall as an homage to one of Germany's greatest composers. Friedrich von Schiller left an indelible mark on Weimar with his poetry and plays. A painting by Eduard Ender captures him reciting his work at court—a moment frozen in time that showcases his influence on German literature. Clara Zetkin was another influential figure who made her mark on Weimar's political landscape. As a famous Communist leader, she played a pivotal role in advocating for women's rights—a movement that paved the way for potential female presidents in Germany. Shiller's House remains an important historical site where visitors can step into the world of Friedrich von Schiller himself—an immersive experience into his life and works. The unrest during the years of the Weimar Republic is encapsulated by images of Freikorps units taking to Berlin streets—a reflection of societal tensions simmering beneath the surface.
