In the late 18th and early 19th centuries the small Thuringian town of Weimar is seen as a remarkable cultural flowering, attracting many writers and scholars, notably Goethe and Schiller.

This development is replicated in the high quality of many of the architectures and of the parks in the adjacent area.

The high artistic quality of the public and private buildings and parks in and around the town testify to the amazing cultural flowering of the Weimar Classical Period.

Enlightened ducal patronage attracted many of the foremost writers and thinkers in Germany.some of them are Goethe, Schiller, and Herder to Weimar in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, making it the cultural centre of the Europe of the day.
