Off the Beaten Track - Weimar’s Hidden Layers

The Weimar beyond Goethe and Schiller: this tour through the Jakobsvorstadt shows seven places that do not get a page of their own in any standard guidebook - and still carry dense history. The Gauforum - the only almost fully completed Nazi Gauforum in Germany. The oldest cemetery in the city - with Christiane's grave and Schiller's empty tomb. A squatted house that was attacked on the night before reunification. A middle-class garden where Hans Christian Andersen sat and Liszt played. And finally a fountain that a Weimar sculptor gave to his home town - a copy of his own work from New York's Union Square. For everyone who really wants to understand Weimar.
