• UNESCO World Heritage City Weimar

  

  The image side of the coin design picks up on the theme of “UNESCO World Heritage – Classical Weimar” through the selection of various characteristic architectural elements. Bourgeois Weimar is contrasted against royal Weimar, and the intellectual is contrasted against the residential. The artist succeeds in drawing the observer into the broader context of classical Weimar through the original and convincing use of strong perspective depth. The figuratively illustrated connection between the town and the landscape and garden culture of the surrounding area is also very successful.
