<P> The Weimar Republic is so called because the assembly that adopted its constitution met at Weimar , Germany from 6 February 1919 to 11 August 1919 , but this name only became mainstream after 1933 . Between 1919 and 1933 there was no single name for the new state that gained widespread acceptance , which is precisely why the old name `` Deutsches Reich '' continued in existence even though hardly anyone used it during the Weimar period . To the right of the spectrum the politically engaged rejected the new democratic model and cringed to see the honour of the traditional word `` Reich '' associated with it . The Catholic Centre party , Zentrum favoured the term `` Deutscher Volksstaat '' ( `` German People 's State '' ) while on the moderate left the Chancellor 's SPD preferred `` Deutsche Republik '' ( `` German Republic '' ) . By 1925 `` Deutsche Republik '' was used by most Germans , but for the anti-democratic right the word `` Republik '' was , along with the relocation of the seat of power to Weimar , a painful reminder of a government structure that had been imposed by foreign statesmen , along with the expulsion of Kaiser Wilhelm in the wake of massive national humiliation . The first recorded mention of the term `` Republik von Weimar '' ( `` Republic of Weimar '' ) came during a speech delivered by Adolf Hitler at a National Socialist German Worker 's Party rally in Munich on 24 February 1929 ; it was a few weeks later that the term `` Weimar Republik '' was first used ( again by Hitler ) in a newspaper article . Only during the 1930s did the term become mainstream , both within and outside Germany . </P>
