    by King_Golo
    Market Square (Markt) is the most central place of Weimar. Here, you can see the splendid townhall building as well as the probably prettiest tourist information of the world. There are also several cafes to hang out and a fountain with a Neptune (?) statue.

    The Duchess Anna Amalia Library houses a major collection of German literature and historical documents. The library contains almost 1 million books, 2000 medieval and early modern manuscripts, 600 ancestral registers 10 000 maps and 4000 musical scripts.

    The treasure of the library is its famous Rococco hall where you can retrace Goethes footsteps.

    German National Theatre
    of Weimar
    by Leipzig
    In the German National Theatre Goethe directed for 26 years. Masterpieces like This "Egmont", "Maria Stuart", "Die Braut von Messina", "Wilhelm Tell", "Wallenstein" and "Tasso" had their premieres here. The building itself has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. This is now the fourth theatre, built in 1948.
    The Goethe and Schiller Memorial in front of the theatre is the symbol for Weimar as the city of culture.

    Some of the buildings date back to the 16th century. All buildings on the north side were destroyed on February 9, 1945, when the market square was hit in an Allied bombing raid.
    The white building on right side is the Municipal Building, was used first as a town hall and trade centre. In World War Tow it was badly destroyed by Allied air raids and was rebuilt in 1970/71. Today it houses the "Tourist Information Centre" and a restaurant.
