It is a village situated close to the Dörnberg some 15 km northwest of Kassel and has about 3500 inhabitants.
Its main sight is the Bühl, a former pit which was left open after a source leaked into it.
In Weimar, the name of which is supposed to mean "sacred water", there was a monastery which is at the place of the Lutheran church.
Weimar's population was mainly dominated by workers in factories in the nearby city of Kassel and also in the quarry which now forms the Bühl.
Although there was an anti-aircraft base during World War II close to the village, it was not heavily damaged in the bomb raids.
