On Saturday I got a postcard from Germany.
It is the Chronicle card of Weimar. The history of Weimar dates back to the 5/6th century when a village was founded which got the town privileges in 1348. Between 1547 and 1918 was Weimar the capital of Saxe-Weimar. In the 17th century became the city a cultural centre with persons like Goethe, Schiller and Herder living there. In 1919 the Weimar Constitution, Germany's first democratic constitution, was signed in Weimar. After World War II lied Weimar in the German Democratic Republic and after 1990 in the German State of Thuringia. Since 1998 is the Classical Weimar, including the Herder Church and Goethe's House (upper row middle and right), on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 1999 was Weimar European Capital of Culture.
