    The Webicht was a popular study place of the Weimar school of painting. So z. For example, the forest landscape (Webicht near Weimar) was painted in 1875 by the painter Karl Buchholz, whom Lovis Corinth called "the genius of the Weimar painting school". It is located in the collection of paintings in the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg under Inv.-No. 1142. Christian Rohlfs was also inspired by this (Wikipedia).

      The Webicht is a deciduous forest of ash, maple, and elm located northeast of the town. The area, which extends toward Tiefurt, was first documented in cartographic records in 1778. During the Baroque period, it was a popular royal hunting ground and venue for events. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is said to have enjoyed visiting the forest with his daughter-in-law Ottilie. Karl Buchholz and Christian Rohls of the Weimar School of Painting also drew inspiration from it for their motifs. In 1945, the Gestapo committed a mass murder of 149 prisoners of the Buchenwald concentration camp in the Webicht. A memorial stone near the entrance to Tiefurt commemorates this event.
