Auf den Pfaden von Klassik und Demokratie. Studienfahrt nach Weimar

In the organizer's words:

This trip is aimed at politically interested citizens who are not only interested in the history of German democracy, but also want to explore the paths of classical literature and music. From Düsseldorf and Erkrath, our route first takes us to Eisenach. A guided tour of the Bach House is planned there, but the Luther House can also be visited. We will continue along the "classical path" to Weimar, where we will receive an in-depth introduction to the history of the city in the city museum and familiarize ourselves with the city on a guided tour. Of course, a visit to the Goethe and Schiller Houses and the Anna Amalia Library are also on the program. In the House of the Weimar Republic, we will look at the first German democracy, and in the Bauhaus Museum we will explore the design and architecture of the early 20th century. We will explore the dark path from democracy to dictatorship beyond the shining classics with a visit to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Here we are expected for a discussion and a guided tour in the footsteps of both German dictatorships. The study trip ends with a visit to the state capital of Erfurt, with its medieval city center and many other historical references.

The study trip will be accompanied by Dr. Sabine Grabowski.

Accommodation will be at the Best Western Premier Grand Hotel Russischer Hof, Weimar.
