Explain the Main Features of Weimar Germanys Golden Years Between 1925-1929

        It was not only politically that the years between 1925-1929 were called golden years. Culturally the Weimar experienced some high points between these years. In the years between 1924 and 1929 there was certainly a great array of talent in the Weimar. There was a great increase in literature, drama, art, music, and architecture. The increase in all of these made the entertainment and leisure in Germany higher than it had ever been before. With this increase it gave the people of Germany a great deal of pride because they were challenging Paris as the cultural centre of Europe. Also the increase in Weimar culture boosted the morale of the country. This was because the culture helped the German people to take their minds off the past years and enjoy themselves, it especially helped them forget about the war that had occurred only a few years before. The culture in Weimar was definitely a main feature when talking about the golden years that had occurred between 1925-1929. Without the increase in culture in Germany the German public would not have been able to enjoy themselves and have fun. The enjoyment of the Weimar culture made the years golden ones for the Germans.

        The years between 1925-1929 were both politically and culturally golden years for the Weimar republic. Culturally at this time Germany were above nearly all countries as the cultural centre of Europe. Berlin's nightlife during 1924 to 1929 was legendary with nightclubs providing shows that no other European capital would dare to put on. This would have given the people of Germany pride that may have been lost in the years before. This is because men and women from their country were being recognised all other the world for their talents and the German people felt very proud of them. Also in foreign policy at this time the Weimar experienced a period of golden years. Stresemann hoped for a number of changes in the Weimar and wanted to establish Germany as a power status in the rest of Europe. Firstly Stresemann negotiated the reorganisation of reparations. He did this by the Dawes plan that reduced reparations from 132 billion marks to 37 billion marks. Also the introduction for Germany into the League of Nations was a major factor between the years of 1925-1929. This gave the Germans more power and negotiations over European issues. This was what Stresemann had hoped for because this helped the Weimar recover and re build its status in the rest of Europe.
