The Altenburg
The Altenburg is located in the Jenaer street which lies just outside of Weimar' city centre beyond the Ilm park. It was built in 1810-1811 and during the years following 1848, Princess Carolyne of Sayn Wittgenstein and her husband, Franz Liszt, lived there. The energetic artistic and cultural/political commitment of the celebrated musician, as well as the social radiance of his noble friends soon made the Altenburg a centre for the intellectual exchange of ideas of artists and those interested in culture from both Germany and foreign countries.
After an eventful history the Altenburg is once again enjoying a prominent position in cultural circles. Since 1989, through The LISZT SCHOOL of Music Weimar ( the former orchestral school founded by Franz Liszt) along with the Franz Liszt Society e. V, the building has become a central location for research regarding Liszt as well as a meeting place for artists from all world.
