Weimar is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the European Capitals of Culture. It has been a place of particular importance in recent German history, but reference is made mostly to its classical period and to the early years of the Bauhaus school. The iconography generated from prominent historical figures such as Goethe, Schiller, Gropius and Liszt is widespread through the city, and marketed abroad making the city a key element of Germany’s cultural and tourist industry.

Spread the Word

by Julia Müller and Grozde Sarlak

[Concept]

The city archive of Weimar has been chosen as an area of intervention. The archive as a body stands in the present, keeping the past for the future. The recent conservation plan for the new city archive of Weimar, proposes an underground storage unit. In an ironic turn of events, in order to preserve the city’s history, documents will be kept below sea level.

I found a picture of Paul and me

by Julia Müller

In an inconsiderable corner of my wardrobe I found a picture of Paul and me. I looked at the picture with well-fare feelings, though I was amazed how little of my memories remained.
