Swinging bridge

Highlight • Bridge

At first there was a wooden bridge in its place, which was probably a raft bridge. The massive version was made in 1833. The approximately two-meter-wide bridge has a length of 14 meters (Wikipedia).

Goethe's garden house in the park on the Ilm River near Weimar was the poet's first residence in Weimar. Here you can see original furnishings from all phases of Goethe's life. Particularly impressive are the poet's standing desk with its stool and the garden he designed. Unfortunately, access to the building and garden is restricted.

View of the Sternbrücke in Weimar

Highlight • Bridge

The massive stone Sternbrücke (Star Bridge) lies directly in front of the east wing of the City Palace with its elaborate colonnade. It connected the palace grounds with the park along the Ilm River. The extension of the Sternbrücke is the Leibnizallee, which once led to the ducal hunting grounds. The bridge dates from the 17th century (built between 1654 and 1655) and has survived all fires and subsequent reconstructions of the neighboring Residenz Palace.

Ruins of the Tempelherrenhaus

Highlight • Historical Site

The temple mansion was destroyed in World War II and only the tower remained. Today the meadow in front of the building is a popular meeting place for students. Today you will find "the Green Laboratory" here as an external location for BUGA 2021. There have been plans for a reconstruction of the temple for many years.

The Roman House was built between 1791 and 1798 in the park on the Ilm River as a garden house for Duke Carl August. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe inspired the architecture with impressions from his trip to Italy.
