German Republic before the Third Reich (6)

I believe the answer is:

weimar

(Other definitions for weimar that I've seen before include "German city; -- Republic" , "13 [THIRD REICH] 's predecessor" , "City of Germany" , "German town giving its name to 1919-33 republic" , "German republic until 1933" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
