Culture and History of Weimar

Weimar was home to one of the most iconic figures in world literature - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe’s works along with those of Friedrich Schiller, also of Weimar, contributed largely to the philosophical revolution known as the Age of Enlightenment. This also led to the creation of the literary genre known as “Weimar Classicism”. Weimar was regarded as one of Europe’s strongest focal points during this revolutionary period. After the death of Goethe, Weimar became renowned throughout Europe as a cultural hub and was one of the most influential cities in this field for many years to come, being the catalyst of 2 further movements; “the Classical Age” (1758- 1832) and “the Silver Ages and the New Weimar” (1832 – 1918).
