Weimar City Palace

A tour of the Weimar City Palace is a treat for all art fans. View the historical chambers, some including the original furnishings from the former grand-ducal art collection with pieces ranging from the Middle Ages to around 1900. The highlight of the themed exhibition is the Cranach gallery as well as works by Caspar David Friedrich, Auguste Rodin and Max Beckmann. Sculptures and artworks from around 1800, including pieces from the dowry of the Tsar’s daughter Maria Pavlovna, are displayed on the piano nobile. Another area shows works from the Weimar Art School.

Amongst the works from the Wittenberg workshop on display in the Palace’s Cranach Gallery is the 1522 portrait ‘Martin Luther as Squire George’.

The City Palace is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site ‘Classical Weimar’, a unique reminder of the cultural Weimar Classical Period that reflects the significant role that Weimar played as a spiritual hub during the late 18th and early 19th century.
