the red beret in Germany: Weimar

September 2012

A trip to Weimar, another city in Thüringen and the heart of the Weimar Republic, Germany's first attempt at a democratic government.  There's a lot of history, but not much else.  We also visited the ex-concentration camp Buchenwald, which is about a 30-minute drive from central Weimar.  I didn't take any photos there, you can reference a post on my other blog if you want to get a feel for a concentration camp.  (The other one was in Belgium, but you get the same feeling no matter what camp you visit).

Goethe and Schiller are all dressed for the occasion!
