Weimarer Fürstengruft
Weimarer Fürstengruft, Burial vault in Historical Cemetery, Weimar, Germany
The Weimarer Fürstengruft features classical architectural elements designed by Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray, with stone columns framing its entrance and angular geometrical patterns.
Charles Augustus, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, commissioned the construction of this burial vault in 1828 to serve as a final resting place for the ducal family.
The vault contains the tombs of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller, two central figures of German literature and the Weimar Classical period.
The Klassik Stiftung Weimar maintains the vault, which opens daily with admission fees of 5 euros for adults and 2 euros for students aged 16-20.
The burial vault forms part of the Classical Weimar World Heritage Site, recognized by UNESCO in 1998 for its contribution to German cultural heritage.
