 Someone at work today mentioned they had read recently that a Germany
 library containing numerous original music manuscripts had sustained a
 serious fire. Unfortunately, my source did not recall where that fire
 was. Would anyone happen to know any more information about this?

The town is Weimar, known as the town of Goethe.

The loss is pretty dreadful.

See http://www.anna-amalia-bibliothek.de/.

The link to the English version is in the upper right.

This is truly a huge disaster, though it's unclear exactly how many 
musical documents were lost. But from the pictures there, it's clear 
that musical documents were among those that were lost, if not 
exactly what was lost.

I don't recall the city but I think I read about it at the NYTimes 
online over the weekend.  It was in East Germany, as I recall.
