We stopped in Weimar on our way from Leipzig to Opfermoor Vogtei. Weimar was a charming Thuringian city in Central Germany, home to literary icons like Goethe and Schiller, the Wiemar Republic, Bauhaus, and a town idealized by the Nazis as a ideal of German culture. It is also home to Buchenwald Concentration Camp, which we did not go to. One of the more interesting things Elliott and I noted in Weimar was a noticeable lack of small children.
