Weimar Culture - Weimar Culture (English spelling)

Japanese: ワイマール文化 - ワイマールぶんか(英語表記)Weimarer Kultur
Weimar Culture - Weimar Culture (English spelling)
A general term for achievements in the fields of art, film, theater, architecture, literature, thought, and social sciences that flourished in Germany during the Weimar era (1919-1933) after World War I. Representative examples include Expressionism by P. Klee and others in art, the Bauhaus movement by W. Gropius and others in architecture, Bauhaus by Bruno Brecht in theater, and the Frankfurt School by M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno in social sciences. Compared to traditional German culture, Weimar culture was extremely modernist and cosmopolitan in nature, which made it difficult for the general German public to accept and eventually became one of the factors that made it easier for the reactionary Nazis to exercise nationalistic cultural control.
