Historical Memorials in Weimar The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic publishes six multi-colored special postal stamps on historical memorials in Weimar. Historic Memorials in Weimar 25-pfennig value: Herderhaus Behind the town church stands the house in which Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) from 1776 until his death had his official residence. The old Renaissance building was given its final shape during a reconstruction in the years 1726 - 1727. In this house Herder acted as head of the highest church authority and as a preacher in the court and town church. Here also his most important works, the "Voice of the Peoples in Songs", the "Ideas for the Philosophy of the History of Humanity", the "Letters for the Advancement of Humanity" were created, and besides a commemorative plaque, the house contains no memory of its former occupant.
