Historic sites and museums available on the Weimar + app:
Using the Weimar+ app, get a feeling of what it was like to live in the Haus Am Horn with the original furniture. Using 3D reconstructions, you can view selected furnishings and objects from the 1920s. Would you like to integrate the Bauhaus furniture of the 1920s into your own home? Simply scan any surface and place the items virtually in your rooms at home using the augmented reality (AR) feature.
Nietzsche’s death chamber on the first floor of Villa Silberblick was a pilgrimage site for admirers of the philosopher until 1945. Today only the ground floor of the Nietzsche-Archiv is open to the public. The living quarters and collection rooms on the upper floor have since been completely renovated and structurally modified. Based on original floor plans and historical photos, it is possible to digitally reconstruct Nietzsche’s death chamber. The conditions of the room of that time are now depicted in spatial visualisations. These include various high-tech 3D scans of objects situated in their original locations, which users can virtually examine in closer detail.
The virtual reconstruction of Nietzsche’s death chamber was created in cooperation with the MWW project “Art and Memoria. The Material Estate of the Weimar Nietzsche-Archiv“.
Projects of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar are funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Free State of Thuringia, represented by the State Chancellery of Thuringia, Department of Culture and the Arts.
