Culture in Weimar Germany

The image “http://z.about.com/d/arthistory/1/7/6/O/dada_berlin_08.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.It is often seen as an enormous tragedy that Weimar Germany, which produced some of Europe’s greatest poets, playwrights, filmmakers, artists and musicians, ended in the tyranny and destruction of the NAZIS.

Despite (or perhaps because of) its political instability, this period of fledging democracy was a time of artistic experimentation and gave birth to some of most important modernist works of the 20th century.

Why do you think Weimar Germany became a centre of European art, philosophy, film  and culture?
