This unit introduces students to the history, culture, and society of the Weimar Republic. Lasting from 1919 to 1933, the Weimar Republic was Germany's first democracy. Bookended by the First World War and the Third Reich, this period in modern Germany saw great cultural experimentation, but also extraordinary political turbulence. Using a variety of textual sources in the original language, as well as visual material and film, students will reflect on what makes the Weimar Republic essential for understanding modern Germany.
