Goethe House
The Goethe House in Frankfurt am Main is the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Germany’s most celebrated poet and thinker, and one of the city’s most treasured cultural landmarks. Located on Großer Hirschgraben, the house was built in the 18th century and carefully reconstructed after its destruction in World War II. Within its walls, Goethe spent his childhood and youth, writing early masterpieces such as Götz von Berlichingen and The Sorrows of Young Werther, and beginning the drafts of Faust. Today, the house is preserved as a museum, furnished with authentic period pieces that recreate the atmosphere of an affluent Frankfurt family home of the time. Visitors can explore the poet’s study, the family’s reception rooms, and the puppet theatre that inspired Goethe’s imagination as a boy. Next door, the Goethe Museum presents paintings, prints, and artifacts from the writer’s era, offering deeper insight into the cultural world that shaped him. Together, they form a memorial to Goethe’s enduring legacy and a vivid journey into the intellectual life of 18th‑century Frankfurt.
