Giants of Literature and a Nazi Concentration Camp: In Weimar, Good and Evil Sit Side by Side

- Weimar is world-famous. A number of important philosophers, musicians, and literary figures used to live here - including renowned poets Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller. Weimar Classicism attracts tourists even today.
But the city of Thuringia is also home to a dark chapter of German history. There, the Nazis built one of their largest concentration camps, Buchenwald, where a total of around 266,000 people were imprisoned.
How does Weimar cope with this paradox today? DW reporter Hannah Hummel searches for answers.

Fascinating and that big German tour guide is very attractive and highly informative.
Guide wasn't big instead the reporter was too short
12:26 - I think the dark past is a question of mindset and philosophy. We try to remind ourselves and the world of the past. Try to make suffering comprehensible. Try to learn from mistakes and let wounds heal and to lay foundations for a better future without suffering. And that is something very good.
Another awesome video! I was in Weimar a few times and it is admirable. Even the first german democracy is named after the city - The weimarer republic.
ohh boi and one democracy it was !
Like how she color coordinated her yellow sweater with the Gropius sofa!
I love this channel. I started following Eva zu Beck's CZcams channel a few months ago, which lead me to DW Travel. I'm hooked on this travel channel now.
Glad you like it! Stay tuned..
So am I. I’ve known Eva zu Beck for some time and I didn’t realize that she was working with DW.
It’s really nice that her travels brought me here to DW. What a wonderful channel!! ❤
This video just played for me after watching one of Eva's videos!
after experiencing the horrors of Buchenwald, I and my german family (I American) spent an afternoon in the city of Wiemar. What a contradiction!
Great stuff, keep it up
Now I know Germany and Japan have different views on the black history of the past. Japan is so denial with black history while Germany accepts it as learning by the younger generation. So that similar incidents never happen again
You need the darkness to appreciate the light. Great video. And Hannah was amazing as usual ❤
Thank you!
Thank You so much for this great video of the present and the past. I was stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany while I served in the US Army and I had heard about Buchenwald but I have never visited to date. I will fix this on my future trip to Germany. Thank You again Hannah for your efforts. :) BTW, where was your "green partner" in this video? LOL!!!
“Culture strong hold”, I like this phrase. It’s good not cover the dark, when something is really nasty and schmutzig, just let people see it. Or discover it rather than cover it up. And they will make up their own minds.
Thanks for share so quality video! I wish to visit many places in Germany soon! Congrats!
Very interesting, thank you
I wish i could visit this place
Hannah and Andreas you do a very good job. You show how Weimar was a place of great intellect and innovation and the furious reaction to it.
I don’t find any video CZcams how you explored like you ?
I think it was the Mustard that made the sausage spicy x)
It's great to see Germany acknowledging all of it's past. The beauty and the terrible.
2:51 is that Ravel in the background music?
Its Debussy
Weimar si a very beautiful city.
The test is out
Weimar - the capital of Thüringen!
Let's agree on Erfurt as the state capitol of Thuringia.. 😉
Ah yes American wisdom 😂😂
agree even when it's wrong
England has to live with its mistreatment of people in its colonies. And it’s treatment of the Scottish and Irish people. America has to live with its treatment of slaves, black people after slavery was abolished, and its continued marginalization of Native Americans.
America is so divided right now that there are some people who would like to abolish democracy in favor a one party fascist government. We will see with the 2022 elections if democracy can hold on. No Empire has lasted forever. Even the Roman Empire fell.
Very thoughtful visit to Weimar. The man who doesn’t study history is doomed to repeat it.😎
SA MAGA
All these colonies had their own people who worked with the colonisers for profit. These people brought to the colonial lands were already under slavery btw. It's just from one owner to an another owner
A man should know real history from both sides before acting all knowledgeable Bill
The design of that chair is VERY suspect !
Ich wohne auch in weimar
423 ist die Hood
I love my home town
Love from India.
It's damn near impossible to find any German willing to speaker English. DW somehow managed. :)
Wie wäre es nächstes mal mit einer etwas natürlicheren Moderatorin? Ich finde die im Video schrecklich aufgesetzt. Allein schon dieses gekünstelte Lächeln die ganze Zeit 😬
Ein sehr schönes und authentisches Lächeln. Ist es Ihnen nicht unangenehm sowas zu kommentieren? Peinlich.
Hannah is a lovely, charming hostess!
Without evil there is no good.
What a stupid quote; without apple there is no pie.
@@ugheieiemmmfmfmff Without Veg there is no table
Weimar good? It’s a joke?
Is weimar bad?
@@fa-ss6cx Yes!
