a rather
sleepy little
town in
germany, founded conjointly by
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and
Friedrich Schiller around the
Ginkgo Tree.
formerly an interesting place where important and "good" things were done, like writing
Faust, founding the
Weimar Republic or inventing
Bauhaus, but also
Hitler's favourite town and therefore a booming
Nazi centre during the so-called
third reich. The nearby "Buchenwald"
KZ was being tolerated by the population.
currently features an interesting little
university (
http://www.uni-weimar.de/) and associated
party culture, but not much other stuff thats not at least 50 years old.
