Beethoven Square Weimar
Beethoven Square Weimar
Beethovenplatz is located on the edge of Weimar's old town. The square, dominated by trees, hedges and lawns, borders directly on the Park an der Ilm, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 1613, the so-called Welsche Garten, a ducal kitchen garden and pleasure garden, was laid out on this site. Inspired by Italian models, it was characterized by a geometric layout and ornamental flower beds. There was also an orangery, a menagerie and aviaries. After urban enclosure, the square became more and more built-up. The adjacent Dingelsted House, built around the same time, has been preserved. On the south side stands the archive building built in 1885 by Carl Heinrich Ferdinand Streichhan.
