ID 146414541 © Shifflmt | Megapixl.com
Anna Amalia boosted Germany’s position in the Seven Year’s War in the 1750’s, and was also a notable composer-transforming Weimar into a cultural center in Germany. A lover of literature and a patron of the arts, she was successful in recruiting writer Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe and the poetic philosopher Friedrich Schiller to work in Weimar. She established a library; full of German literature, musical scores and historic documents. The special collection includes 10,000 Shakespeare pieces, as well as a 16th century Bible associated with Martin Luther. As evident from the photo, the Rococo late Baroque style of architecture is stunning-with painted portraits and sculptures adorning the library walls.
