Weimar
Weimar is a pretty, small town of around 60,000 inhabitants, but its fame stretches far beyond the borders of Thuringia. Foreigners generally associate Weimar with the ill-fated Weimar Republic; founded here in 1919, but ruled from Berlin where it floundered in the early 1930s after the Nazis came to power.
A mere 10 km (six miles) north of Weimar, the Nazis constructed Buchenwald, a notorious labor concentration camp.
