Weimar is in Thuringia, Germany.
After World War I, there was unrest in Germany as a result of the Weimar Republic's concession to the Treaty of Versailles. The Nazi Party, under Adolph Hitler, began forming a secret army in order to overthrow the Weimar.

The Munich Putsch was so important because it lead to the Nazi party being famous. At his trial, Hitler slandered the Weimar republic (as they were quite hated at the time) most people agreed with Hitler. He promised the Nazi's would provide a better Germany. Hitler was now seen as a celebrity throughout Germany. It also made Hitler see that he could win votes rather than take Germany be force, this change of tactics lead him to become chancellor.

Weimar is in Thueringen, which was in East Germany.
The Versailles treaty had a major impact on politics in Germany, as Hitler played on it to gain popularity amongst the German people. Thus, it helped to end the Weimar Republic government and brought the Nazis to power. Without it, Hitler would not have been able to play on how 'harsh' Germany was treated after the first world war. By ignoring the treaty, Hitlers actions eventually helped lead to the second world war.
Hitler's vitriol towards the Weimar Republic stemmed from his belief that it was weak and ineffective, leading to Germany's humiliation after World War I and the economic hardships that followed. He viewed the republic as a product of betrayal, particularly blaming politicians who signed the Treaty of Versailles, which he believed undermined national pride. Additionally, Hitler associated the Weimar government with communism and perceived moral decay, which he sought to eradicate through his totalitarian vision for Germany. This disdain fueled his rise to power as he promised to restore national strength and unity.
