House of the Weimar Republic
Haus der Weimarer Republik
A modern museum beside Theatre Square introducing Germany's first democratic system. The National Assembly convened in the National Theatre opposite in 1919.
In 1919 the German National Assembly drafted the Weimar Constitution at the German National Theatre in Weimar, from which the 'Weimar Republic' takes its name. Opened in 2019, this museum uses multimedia and original objects to tell the story of political, social and cultural change between 1918 and 1933. Explanations are in German and English, and the exhibition is compact and easy to follow. Admission is about €6, and the museum is usually open daily. It stands right opposite the Goethe–Schiller Monument, so you can view it together with the exterior of the National Theatre.
Opening hours
