A century ago, on August 14, 1919, the Weimar Constitution was proclaimed. It was the result of a revolution that was seen as too radical by some and incomplete by others. It was the first republican constitution of the Germans, enacted by elected representatives of the people. However, it was also the Weimar Constitution that served as the basis for the Reich President to appoint Hitler as Chancellor on January 30, 1933, and whose erosion and failure symbolize the collapse of democracy, the rule of law, and civilization in the heart of Europe. Our time, especially in Germany, has nothing to do with the conditions of the years between 1919 and 1933, nothing with war trauma, reparations, hyperinflation, and the climate of violence and hatred of that time. Nevertheless, thoughts turn to Weimar when populism and political instability arise in Europe.
