I search for a website to learn German words of intermediate and advanced level, preferably not with translation, but with explanation in German. Vocabulary.com is the perfect example of what do I need. (German-to-English translation will be of no use for me, because English isn't my native language)

My proposal is Das digitale Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache. After entering the search word, look especially in the upper left box for the definition.

There is Wortschatz bei the University of Leipzig. It is a corpora collection that automatically crawls online ressources and give example sentences.

They at the time of writing this have 26 Mio sentences and 425 Mio tokens.

    In my opinion Wortschatz Leipzig provides many example sentences, it provides no explanation and looks therefore not like a satisfactory answer to me.

You can find here vocabularies categorized by subject and explained in German or with examples ( the website offers the explanation in English sometimes too! ) with pictures when needed.

For example here is vocabularies for living room
