Which country or place do you most want to travel to, and why?

The ancient Duchy of Weimar in Germany. It is located in the Free State of Thuringia in central Germany, at the foot of the Etes Mountains and on the banks of the Ilm River. Located 20 kilometers east of the state capital of Thuringia, although it has a population of only 60,000, it is a city with beautiful scenery, antique flavor and full of cultural atmosphere. It has a variety of museums, including many national collections of art in the Palace Museum and the Municipal Museum. In front of Germany's National Theater there is a memorial statue of Goethe and Schiller created by the famous sculptor Ernst Richer. The Danish fairy tale writer Andersen once said that Weimar is not a city with a park, but a park with a city.

Weimar is a famous historical and cultural city in Germany with a long history and cultural tradition. In 975 AD, Emperor Otto II met with princes here, making this thousand-year-old city enter the annals of history for the first time. From 1547 onwards, Weimar became the capital of the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (later the Grand Duchy). The Forbidden City in the city and the Belvedere Palace and Tift Palace in the suburbs are the remaining palaces from that time. This vassal state was small and had few people, and was unable to compete for supremacy, so the kings of all dynasties focused on culture and art. Duke Carl August (1758-1828) specially invited Goethe, who had just shown his talent in the literary world, to serve as minister. Goethe, who was only 26 years old, came to Weimar in 1775 and lived here until his death in 1832. His extraordinary talent created the first cultural golden age for Weimar. Many of Goethe's works that have been passed down through the ages were created here, and his masterpiece "Faust" was also completed in Weimar. The poet and playwright Schiller also lived in Weimar twice and wrote the play "William Tell" here. The novelist and translator of Shakespeare's works Wieland (1733-1813) lived in Weimar from 1772 until his death. From 1776 onwards Herder (1744-1803), the most famous theorist of the German Enlightenment, also lived here. His ideas strongly influenced the Sturm und Drang literary movement in Germany. At that time, Weimar was so bright that it could be called the spiritual capital of Germany. From 1708 to 1717, the musician Bach composed some of his famous works here. Martin Luther's friend and portrait painter Cranach (1472-1553) spent the last days of his life in Weimar. His old residence still stands today. The altarpiece in the city church is his work. Before 1900, many of Friedrich Nietzsche's important philosophical ideas were produced here. These are major events in the cultural history of Weimar.

Therefore, I am fascinated by Weimar! ! !
