安娜·阿玛利亚公爵夫人图书馆

Founded in 1691, this research library is an integral part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Classical Weimar." It functions as a public archive and research center with a primary focus on European literary and cultural history, specifically the period between 1750 and 1850. The institution serves as a major repository for German literature from the Enlightenment to late Romanticism.

The library's historical building is centered around the famous Rococo Hall, which dates back to 1766. This architectural landmark is complemented by a modern study center designed for contemporary research. The facility is wheelchair accessible, providing access to both historical and modern sections of the archive.

The collection comprises over one million items, including a significant Shakespeare collection, art history documents, and various historical manuscripts. In addition to its role as a library, the building hosts exhibitions such as Cranach's Bilderfluten, which showcases works related to the Cranach family of painters.
