Stepping back in time, let’s journey to the Reithaus in Weimar. It stands gracefully within the Park on the Ilm, facing the City Castle and the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek. The Reithaus has witnessed centuries of history, just like Weimar itself. Originally built in the Baroque style around 1715-1718 by Christian Richter, the ducal master builder, the Reithaus served as part of the ducal residence. In the early 1800s, architect Heinrich Gentz transformed it into its current classical form. The Reithaus’s connection to Weimar’s cultural heritage is deep. Lessing’s “Minna von Barnhelm” premiered at this very hall. The famed Starcksche Theatergesellschaft brought this groundbreaking play to life in Weimar. In the early 20th century, the Reithaus even housed Bauhaus preliminary courses. After serving various purposes throughout the years, including as a government building and a youth center, the Reithaus found new life. Meticulously restored between 1996 and 1999, the Reithaus reopened during Weimar’s tenure as the European Capital of Culture. Today, the Reithaus thrives as a seminar and event venue. Its large hall on the ground floor, with its 280 square meters, soaring 6-meter-high ceilings, and elegant gallery, can accommodate up to 180 people. Imagine hosting a grand wedding reception within these historic walls, or a lively conference buzzing with ideas. The Reithaus also offers smaller meeting rooms for more intimate gatherings. The Reithaus’s modern atmosphere and prime location in the heart of Weimar make it an ideal setting. The rich past of this unassuming building blends beautifully with its modern-day purpose. The echoes of theatrical performances, Bauhaus lectures, and the footsteps of history linger, enriching the atmosphere.
