Real Traveler reviews for Goethehaus

  • Goombella Rated: Rating of 2 out of 5

    Goethehaus

    Attraction | by Goombella a 27 year old female from Miami | Jul 24 '09

    "Visited Goethehaus"

    Not as interesting as I thought it would be.  No mention of Goethe's many contributions to science -- only a focus on his literature and poetry.

More information on Goethehaus

The house where Goethe was born on August 28 1749, is a fine example of how the well-to-do lived in the late baroque era. In 1733 Goethe's family acquired two neighboring half-timbered houses in Großen Hirschgraben. The family sold the property in 1795, by which time Goethe himself had already moved to Weimar. It is also worth taking a trip to the adjoining Goethe Museum, which was recently renovated and contains both a library and a bookshop. The house itself is a reconstruction of the original which was destroyed in the Second World War. Check website for information on tariffs and guided tours.
