Volkshaus, Community center in Weimar, Germany.

The Volkshaus, designed by architect Bruno Röhr, stands as a large meeting venue with distinguished architectural elements from the early 20th century.

Built between 1906 and 1908, the Volkshaus initially served as a gathering place for social democrats and labor unions during Germany's imperial period.

Notable speakers at the Volkshaus included political figures Clara Zetkin, Karl Liebknecht, and Rosa Luxemburg, who shaped German social movements.

The City of Weimar purchased the building in January 2024 for 600,000 euros to preserve and redevelop it for future community use.

The building's basement previously contained band rehearsal rooms and hosted concerts until 2009, marking its role in local music culture.
