Guided Story
Can you feel the history in the air? Just in front of you is the Wieland Fountain, a beautiful tribute to the great writer Christoph Martin Wieland. Look south, and you'll see his statue. Wieland was a significant Enlightenment poet and a close friend of Goethe. Speaking of Goethe, behind you, just a short walk away, is his famous residence. Imagine the literary discussions that took place between these two here in Weimar. If you head northeast, you'll reach the Goethe National Museum, a must-visit for any culture enthusiast. Right here at Wielandplatz, you're truly standing in a chapter of German cultural history.
