The Weimar Republic existed from 1918 to 1933 and was Germany’s first democracy. It emerged after World War I in utterly desolate circumstances yet offered hope and brought progress. Much of what we take for granted today was created during those years. Yet the foes of the democracy fought it in every way they could, which led to its destruction in the end, in 1933. The modern and multimedia House of the Weimar Republic tells this story and demonstrates how relevant the Weimar Republic is for today’s world. While connecting the Weimar era to the 21st century, it serves as a Forum for Democracy, providing room for exhibitions, research, and education. Moreover, the House is located authentically in Weimar, the city that gave birth to the first German democracy.
