Marktplatz, Rathaus, Cranachhaus Weimar

Marktplatz (Markt) in Weimar is an ancient square located in the city center, where you can find the town hall along with numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops. This historical site attracts many tourists and regularly hosts various events, including fairs, concerts, and festivals. For example, every year in October, the famous Zwiebelmarkt (Onion Market), one of the oldest fairs in Germany, takes place here, offering a variety of onion-related products and musical performances.

The Rathaus (Town Hall) of Weimar was constructed in the neo-Gothic style in 1841, replacing a Renaissance building that was destroyed by a fire in 1837. Named after the figure of Neptune by Martin Gottlieb Klauer, the town hall is located opposite the Markt and is a significant landmark of the city. Weimar's Rathaus holds great historical importance as it was a place where important decisions were made, public meetings and events were held, and where art and science merged with politics and administration, reflecting Weimar's rich cultural and intellectual history.

Cranachhaus is a house on Markt where composer Franz Liszt lived from 1869 to 1886. This house, originally constructed in 1798-1799, served as a residential home and the workplace of the chief gardener of the Duke of Weimar's court. In 1819, it was redesigned by the architect Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray in the classical architecture style typical of Weimar. Today, this house houses a museum dedicated to the life and work of Franz Liszt, where visitors can see his piano, furniture, personal belongings, and musical instruments.
