Sights of Weimar

Bauhaus Museum Weimar

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the State Bauhaus, founded in Weimar in 1919, the new Bauhaus Museum Weimar opened in 2019 and has since presented the treasures of the world's oldest Bauhaus collection. As a place of open encounter and discussion, it recalls the early phase of the most important design and art school of the 20th century and links its history with questions about shaping life today and tomorrow.

Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek

The Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek is a publicly accessible archive and research library for European literary and cultural history with a special focus on the period between 1750 and 1850. In the tradition of a princely library, it has collections from the 9th to the 21st century, which are continuously supplemented, made accessible and updated with current research literature. The historic library building with its famous Rococo Hall as part of the World Heritage ensemble "Classical Weimar" is visited by around 100,000 people per year. The hall, furnished by Duchess Anna Amalia, not only houses museum objects. On the contrary, the holdings are available for viewing in the reading room. The interplay between architecture, art treasures and books makes the place a very special experience.

Goethe Gartenhaus

The summer house on the edge of the park on the Ilm was Goethe's first own residence in Weimar in 1776. Here he wrote the ballad of the "Erlkönig" and the poem "An den Mond". In his old age, the house, which is furnished with original furniture such as the standing desk and "Sitzbock," became an important retreat for Goethe. Together with its garden, the garden house has been part of the ensemble "Classical Weimar" since 1998, which was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Haus Am Horn

The Haus Am Horn is the first model house in a completely unique architecture, which was realized by the Bauhaus in Weimar. Built in 1923 for the Bauhaus exhibition, the experimental house was intended to present contemporary building and living. All rooms of the one-story experimental house can be experienced in the exhibition there. Exemplary reconstructions of the former furniture give an impression of the original furnishing situation. A comprehensive media guide provides information about the origins of the house and the changing use and reception of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Co-Labor

Located in front of the Weimar City Palace, Co-Labor is a place for everyone. This is where people meet and new perspectives emerge. The meeting place gives free space for active creation.

The Co-Labor has a new program every year. In 2022 it opened as a language lab, in 2023 it will become a living lab. Together with numerous partners from Weimar, a public living room is being created - a lively place for talks, discussions, workshops, concerts, readings or games on the topic of living.
