Roman Kaminski, ein ehemaliger Schauspieler, lebt als Kutscher und Touristenführer in Weimar, der geschichtsträchtigen Stadt Schillers und Goethes, wo alle Kunst machen oder wenigstens bedeutsam sein wollen, außer ihm. Da erschüttern mysteriöse Todesfälle die Villa Gründgens, ein Seniorenstift für alte Schauspieler, Regisseure und Sänger. Kaminski wird zum Detektiv wider Willen und stolpert dabei von einer Verlegenheit in die nächste.

Established in 1918–19, in the wake of Germany’s catastrophic defeat in the First World War and the revolution that followed swiftly on its heels, the Weimar Republic ushered in widespread social reform, a radical cultural flowering and the most democratic conditions the German people had ever known. The Weimar Years is a vivid narrative of a dramatic period in German history. Year by year, from 1918 to 1933, Frank McDonough covers the major events in both domestic and foreign policy and the personalities who shaped them, together with developments in music, art, theatre and literature.

Weimar Germany brings to life an era of unmatched creativity in the 20th century - one whose influence and inspiration still resonate today. Eric Weitz has written the authoritative history that this fascinating and complex period deserves, and he illuminates the uniquely progressive achievements and even greater promise of the Weimar Republic. Weimar Germany also shows that beneath its glossy veneer lay political turmoil that ultimately led to the demise of the republic and the rise of the radical right.

Or what were the events that led up to his reign of terror? The answers lie in the Weimar Republic. Amid the devastation of World War I, Germany’s monarchy provided no answers. A democratic government seemed the only way to appease Allied nations and solve the many disasters that were already at the country’s doorstep.

The Weimar Republic has become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the interwar years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos, and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler.

Have you ever wondered how a man like Adolf Hitler could have come into power? How he legally became a dictator by using a democratic process? Or what events led up to his reign of terror?

Nach der Niederlage im Ersten Weltkrieg versucht Deutschland, zu so etwas wie Normalität zurückzukehren. Doch die Zeiten bleiben unruhig: "Der Weltkrieg hatte alte Ordnungen zerstört und geschwächt; er hatte keine neuen geschaffen." Zwei Grunddokumente markieren den Neubeginn, jedes auf seine Art verhängnisvoll: der Vertrag von Versailles, der zwar akzeptiert, aber nicht gutgeheißen wird, und die Weimarer Verfassung...
