In Focus

English Edition
Villa Silberblick where a mentally
deranged Friedrich Nietzsche spent the final years of his life, was
originally a middle-class home. Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth
F rster-Nietzsche not only looked after her ill brother but also
exploited the cult-like admiration the philosopher enjoyed for her own
ends and installed the Nietzsche Archive in the building. Initially very
popular amongst Europe's avant-garde later Elisabeth F rster-Nietzsche
allowed the archive to be instrumentalized by the National Socialists
before it became a taboo topic in the GDR. Featuring many colored
illustrations, the book relates the turbulent history of a memorial that
reflects the ambivalence of modernism.

The Nietzsche cult has a home: the Nietzsche Archive A MUST-HAVE for Nietzsche fans and lovers of Art Nouveau Weimar beyond the classics: discover new places
