    Here in Schwarzburg, on August 11, 1919, Germany's first President, Friedrich Ebert, signed the Weimar Constitution, the first democratic constitution in Germany.

      On the mountain spur above the Schwarza valley, the muse of history kisses me. Reich President Friedrich Ebert signed the Weimar Constitution here in 1919. The articles of the Constitution set into the ground in stone on the promenade seem as necessary to be implemented today as they were 100 years ago. A little further on is the armoury, which is well worth seeing, with the weapons collection of the Schwarzburg princes. House and equipment are finely prepared. Finally, the castle that is being restored - the ancestral home of those from Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt - and the adjoining small park with the Kaisersaal and a first-class view of the Schwarzatal and Unterem Ort. All in all an interesting and beautiful history mile!
