Weimar – the breath of history
If you are on holiday in Thuringia and visit Oberhof, you should not miss the opportunity to visit Weimar, Germany’s number one cultural capital.
Weimar is the city that we associate like no other with German poets and thinkers such as Goethe, Schiller, Herder and Wieand. The term “Weimar Classicism” was coined here.

In addition to the Wittumspalais, you will of course find Goethe’s residence as well as numerous Renaissance buildings. In general, Weimar is full of sights that should not be missing from your list.
