Duchess Anna Amalia Library

The Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar, Germany, houses a major collection of German literature and historical documents. In 1991, the tricentennial of its opening to the public, the Ducal Library was renamed for Duchess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Today, the library is a public research library for literature and art history and contains over 1,000,000 items, 150,000 of which are available for open use and borrowing. The main focus of the collection is German literature from the Classical and the late Romantic eras. The library was inscribed on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites as part of the Classical Weimar site because of its testimony to the global cultural importance of Weimar in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, during the Weimar Classicism movement.
