About
The Ducal Vault was erected in the Historic Cemetery between 1823 and 1828. This extraordinary mausoleum is not only the burial place of the rulers of the Saxony-Weimar and Eisenach dynasty. The two greatest poets of the Weimar Classical period, Goethe and Schiller, were interred here as well in 1832 where their caskets remain alongside those of the ducal family.
