==== Other sights ==== *The town hall at Marktplatz was built between 1837 and 1841 in Neo-Gothic style by ''Heinrich Heß'' after the former one (15th-century) burnt down. *The two main buildings of [[Bauhaus University, Weimar|Bauhaus University]] at Marienstraße are icons of 20th-century early-modern architecture. Both were built by [[Henry van de Velde]] between 1904 and 1911. They mark the transition from older Historicism and Art Nouveau to the new international modern style in Germany by their functional forms (e. g. skylights for better working conditions inside). *The German National Theatre at Theaterplatz was built in 1906/07 in neo-classicist forms. Two predecessors were in use after 1779 and 1825 as ducal court theatres during Weimar's golden age. In 1919, the [[Weimar National Assembly]] developed the Weimar Constitution in this theatre. *The ''Gauforum'' at Weimarplatz is a Roman-fascist style representative government district between the city centre and the main station. This Gauforum, designed by [[Hermann Giesler]], was the only realized Nazi government district outside Berlin (whereas there were plans for all German state capitals). Today it hosts the Thuringian Administration State Department. *The ''[[Park an der Ilm]]'' is the city's largest park along [[Ilm (Thuringia)|Ilm]] river between the ducal palace and the district of Oberweimar. It was established between 1778 and 1833 and is an [[English landscape garden]] today, part of UNESCO world heritage. Sights inside the park are ''Goethe's garden house'' (1690s) and ''Römisches Haus'' (in the style of a Roman temple, 1790s). *The Historic Cemetery at Karl-Haußknecht-Straße was opened in 1818 and hosts the graves of Goethe, Schiller and many other famous people from Weimar. *The ''Goethe-Schiller-Denkmal'' at Theaterplatz is the most famous memorial in Weimar. It was made by [[Ernst Rietschel]] between 1852 and 1857 and is dedicated to Goethe and Schiller, the most important poets of German classical literature. *A rather unknown monument is the Lenin-light-box inside the theatre hall "La Redoute". It's a copy of a stained window by Alexander Leonidovich Korolev that shows Lenin in Petrograd (St. Petersburg).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://leninisstillaround.com/2017/03/14/the-light-box/ |title=The light box |date=14 March 2017 |access-date=12 May 2020 |archive-date=14 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200814204833/https://leninisstillaround.com/2017/03/14/the-light-box/ |url-status=live }}</ref> <gallery> File:Rathaus Weimar, 2023.jpg|Town hall File:Bauhaus University Weimar 03.JPG|Southern main building of Bauhaus University File:Van-de-Velde-Bau in Weimar (Südgiebel).jpg|Northern main building of Bauhaus University File:Theater Weimar.JPG|Theatre and Goethe-Schiller-Denkmal File:Weimar - Goethe und Schiller Statuen am Theaterplatz.jpg|Goethe-Schiller-Denkmal File:Gauforum Weimar Westseite.JPG|One building of the Gauforum File:Römisches Haus im Park an der Ilm (Weimar).jpg|The Römisches Haus in Park an der Ilm </gallery>
