The Weimar National Assembly was the constitutional convention and de facto parliament of Germany from 6 February 1919 to 6 June 1920. It drew up the new constitution which was in force from 1919 to 1933, technically remaining in effect until the end of Nazi rule in 1945. It convened in Weimar, Thuringia, and is the reason for this period in German history becoming known as the Weimar Republic.
The National Assembly met in Weimar because politicians wanted to avoid the ongoing fights in the capital, Berlin, and SPD leader, Friedrich Ebert, wanted to remind the victorious World War I Allies, of Weimar Classicism, which included the likes of Goethe and Schiller.
The Assembly dissolved itself on 21 May 1920 and was succeeded by the Reichstag.
