A Walk through Weimar (6. May – 30. September 2022)
„Instead of quarrelling over the question where truth lies, who possesses it, who has seen it in its most beautiful light, heard the most and the clearest sounds from it – let us walk together in peace, or, when we have had enough of walking, sit down under the nearest tree, and tell each other candidly and impartially what each has seen and heard of it, or believes he has seen …“
Christoph Martin Wieland, Was ist Wahrheit? [What Is Truth?], 1776
For a year devoted to the theme of language, Klassik Stiftung Weimar has scattered quotations in the city centre of Weimar – like fragments scattered by ‘Language Eruptions’. ‘What Is Truth?’, the title of the essay which contains this quotation, is a question that underlies many contemporary controversies. The recommendation of the author Christoph Martin Wieland has lost none of its validity over the years. The year 2022 marks the 250th anniversary of his arrival in Weimar.
A new exhibition opening on 3 September at his estate in Ossmannstedt offers an introduction to his work.
