Weimar Controversies

Housing is political. How do we want to live? Who can still afford to live the way they want? Who actually owns the living space and what alternative housing models are there? How is Weimar shaped by the Bauhaus, which had revolutionary ideas for housing? For this year's Weimar Controversies, we are once again inviting exciting discussion partners to the Bauhaus Museum Weimar and opening the dialogue.

Open Stage

From 7 June, we will once again be inviting you to the Open Stage every Wednesday from 6 pm directly in front of the Weimar City Palace! The Open Stage is open to musicians from all genres. Whether punk, classical, rock, cover songs or original pieces, years of experience or just starting out - our stage is open to all! Registration and information via open-stage@klassik-stiftung.de
