difficult to imagine that seeing the sights here can be but superficial, if one does not come with insights.
the pleasant village become town certainly did not appear as it does now in Goethe´s time, though that would hurt the necessary tourist income to make too clear.
however, the fact that Weimar (and many of its, eventually, historical buildings), as much of Germany, wa,s in a war for political world power, bombed with high-explosives from airplanes high above the clouds, must at least be recalled if any thing close to a realistic sense of Weimar then and now is to be had.
