But the city also has some modern buildings

The "Russicher Hof" has both modern and old



The National Theatre with the Goethe-Schiller monument and the Bauhaus Museum are on Theatre Square






The Bauhaus



The building where the Bauhaus started in Weimar


The nazis had already other problems when they wanted to destroy it




So it can be seen also today and houses a part of the
Bauhaus University





The predecessor was directed by Van der Velde, the Belgian Art nouveau architect, whose house was also preserved




The staircase is one of the finest parts inside


On the bottom there stood a statue, "Eva" from Rodin


The statue was vandalised and the students collected money for its restoration
and placed a small copy under the poster announcing their intention.


Traditional door

View to the opposite, modern, building


Another statue - the face of the lady is repeated
on the bottom right
