The Weimar Republic (Weimarer Republik) is the name given by historians to the federal republic and parliamentary representative democracy established in 1919 in Germany to replace the imperial form of government. It was named after Weimar, the city where the constitutional assembly took place. Its official name was German Realm (Deutsches Reich), which is often mistranslated into English as German Empire, or rendered by the partial translation German Reich.

Following World War I, the republic emerged from the German Revolution in November 1918. In 1919, a national assembly convened in Weimar, where a new constitution for the German Reich was written, then adopted on 11 August of that same year. The ensuing period of liberal democracy lapsed in the early 1930s, leading to the ascent of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler in 1933. The legal measures taken by the Nazi government in February and March 1933, commonly known as Gleichschaltung ("coordination") meant that the government could legislate contrary to   the constitution. The republic nominally continued to exist until 1945,   as the constitution was never formally repealed. However, the measures   taken by the Nazis in the early part of their rule rendered the   constitution irrelevant. Thus, 1933 is usually seen as the end of the   Weimar Republic and the beginning of Hitler's Third Reich.

In its 14 years, the Weimar Republic was faced with numerous problems, including hyperinflation,   political extremists on the left and the right and their   paramilitaries, and hostility from the victors of World War I, who tried   twice to restructure Germany's reparations payments through the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan. However, it overcame many of the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles (Germany eventually repaid a reduced amount of the reparations required   of the treaty, with the last payment being made on 3 October 2010),[9] reformed the currency, and unified tax politics and the railway system,   as well as having a unique cultural impact with its art, music and   cinema. Germany continued to lead the world in science and technology   during this period.
