Weimarer Land, Rural district in Thuringia, Germany
The Weimarer Land district spans 804 square kilometers of rolling hills and valleys, with Apolda serving as its administrative center at 263 meters elevation.
The district emerged from the reorganization of Thuringia's administrative divisions in 1920, when the Free State of Thuringia was established through duchy mergers.
Each hilltop village within Weimarer Land features distinct churches and architectural elements, as documented by artist Lyonel Feininger through numerous paintings.
The district maintains a network of administrative associations called Verwaltungsgemeinschaften to manage resources across its 82,000 residents and multiple municipalities.
The district's location near Classical Weimar, combined with its agricultural heritage, creates a connection between rural traditions and German literary history.
