Klassik Stiftung Weimar – författare

Goethe’s summer house was a very special place, even in his own time: Until the end of his life, he returned again and again to the little house on the edge of the city. Literature and nature meet in this early poet’s house - for its visitors as well. This volume sheds light on the literary setting where some of Goethe’s most famous poems and dramas were written. It examines Goethe’s design for his first garden as well as his botanical research and early drawings, along with the history of the house’s reception. Other personalities such as Charlotte von Stein, Christiane Vulpius, Duke Carl August and servant Paul Goetze also have a say. The richly illustrated contributions bring one of the earliest locations of Weimar Classicism to life.

As part of the ensemble UNESCO World Heritage Site " Classical Weimar" the Park an der Ilm is equally a preserved garden and a place of recreation. The book describes the exemplary development from what was initially a baroque complex at the time of Goethe to a landscaped park in the English style and undergoing the phases of development typical for the epoch from 77 to 83 . In addition to the Wörlitzer Park this garden developed into one of the most modern of its age in Germany. Unlike many other contemporary gardens in Weimar here they largely managed without allegorical accessories and were also sparing as regards monuments and architecture. Today, the garden is still characterized by a highly varied design and spatial concept comprising components that though artificially shaped still appear natural looking.

German edition Villa Silberblick where a mentally deranged Friedrich Nietzsche spent the final years of his life, was originally a middle-class home. Nietzsche’s sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche not only looked after her ill brother but also exploited the cult-like admiration the philosopher enjoyed for her own ends and installed the Nietzsche Archive in the building. Initially very popular amongst Europe’s avant-garde later Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche allowed the archive to be instrumentalized by the National Socialists before it became a taboo topic in the GDR. Featuring many colored illustrations, the book relates the turbulent history of a memorial that reflects the ambivalence of modernism.

Englische Ausgabe Die Villa Silberblick, in der Friedrich Nietzsche geistig umnachtet seine letzten Lebensjahre verbrachte, war ursprünglich ein bürgerliches Wohnhaus. Nietzsches Schwester Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche pflegte den Kranken dort nicht nur, sondern wusste auch die kultische Verehrung des Philosophen für ihre eigenen Zwecke zu lenken und richtete im Gebäude das Nietzsche-Archiv ein. Auf wirksame Inszenierung bedacht und geschäftstüchtig, beauftragte sie nach Nietzsches Tod den belgischen Jugendstilkünstler Henry van de Velde, das Archiv zu einer Weihestätte des Nietzsche-Kults umzugestalten. In den ersten Jahren Anziehungspunkt der europäischen Avantgarde, wurde das Archiv durch Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche später in das Kielwasser der Nationalsozialisten gesteuert, bevor es deswegen in der DDR zum Unort wurde. Der Band erzählt mit vielen farbigen Abbildungen die wechselvolle Geschichte einer Memorialstätte, in der sich die Ambivalenz der Moderne widerspiegelt.
