| Description: | The tiny Thuringian town of Weimar witnessed a remarkable cultural zenith in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which attracted countless writers and scholars, markedly Goethe and Schiller. This development is exposed within the high quality of numerous of its buildings and surrounding parks. --WHMNet paraphrase from the description at WHC Site, where additional information is available. | |
| Weimar is a city in Germany. It is located in the Bundesland of Thuringia (German: Thüringen), north of the Thüringer Wald, east of Erfurt, and southwest of Halle and Leipzig. Its current population is approximately 64,000. The oldest record of the city dates from the year 899. Weimar was the capital of the Duchy (after 1815 the Grand Duchy) of Saxe-Weimar (German Sachsen-Weimar). The city also gives its name to the Weimar Republic. --Wikipedia.
