The Haus Hohe Pappeln, built in 1907/08, was the private residence of the Belgian architect and designer Henry van de Velde and his family. Van de Velde drafted the plans for the entire house down to the last detail. The result was an extraordinary Gesamtkunstwerk whose representative living area and garden can still be visited today.
Well worth a visit. Provides the forerunner to Bauhaus idea of complete house design. I went with Art Pursuits abroad and llved the idea of complet lifestyle design. Van de Velde and Weimar are a marriage made in heaven.

Enjoy gently burbling waterfalls in this oasis and linger at the square of holy trees. Curiously accompany the in gravel raked waves that spring from a dry fall. These waves gracefully wind through the garden, passing Japanese-style stone settings. You can observe the majestic drifting koi carp in the bright pond filled with water lilies. Leave evil spirits behind by crossing the zigzag bridge. Rejoice on the aesthetics of masterfully crafted bonsai – masterpieces in steady progress. In the beautiful pavilion of plants with its teahouse, you can experience an original Japanese tea ceremony.
