Quarter of Modernism

On a tour of the “Quarter of Modernism” around the Bauhaus Museum, you will be introduced to “Weimar modernism” from various perspectives. The tour begins at the end of the 19th century, continues to the Bauhaus years in the Weimar Republic, revisits the era of National Socialism at the Gauforum and the years after 1945, and concludes in the present day.

Living History

This tour examines the developments in Weimar from 1800 to the present. Tying in the fundamental ideas and images of humankind, we revisit the era of “Weimar Classicism” and its influence well into the 19th and early 20th century. Questions about the culture of remembrance and commemoration form a thematic arc to the present day.

Meeting place: courtyard of the Wittumspalais

Park on the Ilm

The Park on the Ilm is a garden artwork. The tour highlights the cultural-historic legacy of the park and shows how this originally small Baroque garden expanded under Duke Carl August and Johann Wolfgang Goethe and later evolved into the beautiful park it is today.
