Duchess Anna Amalia Library

The Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar, Germany, houses a noteworthy gathering of German writing and verifiable records and is a piece of the UNO assigned Classical Weimar World Heritage Site. In 2004 a flame demolished the fundamental wing and a significant piece of the gathering; reclamation of rescued volumes went on until 2015. The exploration library today has roughly 850,000 volumes with gathering accentuation on the German writing. Among its uncommon accumulations is a significant Shakespeare gathering of around 10,000 volumes, just as a 16^th century Bible associated with Martin Luther.

In 1991, the tricentennial of its opening to general society, the Ducal Library was renamed for Anna Amalia, Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, who organized in 1766 for the cultured book accumulation to be moved into the library. The primary structure is the Green Castle, Anna's home, which had been worked somewhere in the range of 1562 and 1565. The modeler was Nikolaus Gromann. The widow Duchess had the structure changed over into a library in 1761. The Duchess, looking for a mentor for her child Duke Carl August, enlisted Christoph Martin Wieland, a significant artist and noted interpreter of William Shakespeare. Wieland's Shakespeare volumes shaped the center of the accumulation. From an engineering stance, the library is world-popular for its oval Rococo lobby including a representation of Grand Duke Carl August.
