The Kassengewölbe, also known as the Mausoleum of Weimar, is one of the most significant places in the city from a historical and cultural perspective. It is located in the Historical Cemetery of Weimar and houses the remains of central figures from the classical and post-classical periods, including initially Friedrich Schiller, whose symbolic tomb is still found there today.

Built in 1827, the Kassengewölbe was designed as a common crypt for esteemed members of Weimar society. Its name derives from the fact that it was financed by a "Kasse," a public communal fund. The neoclassical mausoleum stands out for its architectural simplicity and the solemn atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection on the intellectual heritage of its guests.

Although Schiller's remains were later moved to the Fürstengruft (the Princes' Crypt), the Kassengewölbe retains a strong symbolic and historical value. It is a destination for scholars, literature enthusiasts, and tourists interested in the cultural heritage of Weimar, the center of German classicism.

Visiting this place means taking a step back in time to pay respect to those who have shaped European culture with their work and thoughts.
