Between 1919 to 1933, Germany underwent a transitional phase of democracy (preceded by a monarchic line of Emperors and Chancellors and succeeded by Hitler's Fascist regime).

The expression Weimar Republic is a nickname which only came into use after the republic had collapsed. If you look at stamps issued in 1919-32 you'll find that they say Deutsches Reich.

The point is that the National Assembly met in Weimar in 1919 in order to work out a new constitution in peaceful surroundings, away from Berlin.
The government that replaced the democratically elected Weimar Republic in Germany was the totalitarian Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler. Hitler became the chancellor in 1933 and gradually consolidated his power, eventually transforming Germany into a one-party state with himself as the absolute dictator. This new government was known as the Third Reich.
