Weimar Classicism (German Weimarer Klassik ) is a cultural and literary movement of Europe, in a wider sense including Christoph Martin Wieland, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Johann Gottfried Herder, and Friedrich Schiller from 1772 until 1805; often concentrated on Goethe and Schiller during the period 1788 1805. Weimar Classicism was a literary movement in Germany to establish a new humanism. The movement was an attempt to synthesize Romantic, classical and Enlightenment ideas. Although Weimar Classicism''s status as a "movement" and "classical" has been questioned by some scholars and historians, notably those outside Germany, its growing, immediate importance has precipitated greater awareness of it within academia and within German scholarship.
