The path leads through a snow-covered landscape and ends in the Schillerhaus Weimar with a tour of today's museum. The next pictures are for a visit to the VEB Uhrenwerk Weimar , where young women are filmed assembling watches. Some time later, recordings from a production hall in the Weimar factory are also shown. A large part of the film sequences shown are taken up by the celebrations for the 1000th anniversary of Weimar . The men and women accompanying the procession wear clothing from the past centuries, hand out leaflets and carry pictures of some of the city's famous former residents, including Friedrich Schiller , Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , Johann Gottfried Herder and Franz Liszt .
