While in Frankfurt, allocate 1 hour to visit the Goethe's House. It was originally built in 1618, destroyed during allied bombing of Frankfurt in WW II, restored afterwards into it's present condition. German poet Goethe was born here in 1749, , and lived in this house until 1775. I found two items of special interest while visiting the house: the book shelves surrounding one of the room's door and the perpetual standing wall clock. It is in working condition, shows time, year, day of the week, both in letters and numbers. I hope you will also enjoy visiting this place. Regards

Подобные музеи работают ещё в двух других немецких городах - Веймаре и Кенигсберге, однако во Франкфурте-на-Майне известный поэт, мыслитель и политический деятель Иоганн Вольфганг фон Гёте родился и провел детство и юность. Дом-музей Гете был одним из самых старых зданий города, однако сейчас мы можем увидеть только тщательно восстановленную копию: в 1944 году в результате бомбардировки оно было разрушено до основания вместе со всей улицей. Франкфуртский домик XVIII века относится к стилю позднего Барокко и со своей остроконечной крышей, цветным фасадом и обилием окон он очень похож на пряничный. В ХIX веке одному из жителей дома пришла в голову светлая мысль увековечить тот факт, что в 1749 году именно в этих скромных стенах появился на свет маленький Иоганн. Власти пошли навстречу народной инициативе, были подняты архивы и восстановлен интерьер помещения. Книги, картины, мебель - всё стало таким, как тогда. Изначально музей занимал второй этаж, но со временем расширился на два здания: дом Гёте и музей Гёте. На входе дом поэта встречает своих посетителей богиней правосудия на резной печи. В в личном кабинете Гёте представлен стол, за которым он работал над своими известными произведениями. В частности, именно здесь были сделаны первые наброски «Фауста». На одной из стен висит портрет Шарлотты Буф, ставшей прототипом Лотты в романе «Страдания юного Вертера». Познакомившись с ней на танцевальном вечере, поэт был пленен этой девушкой, однако позже она стала чужой женой и многодетной матерью. Здесь же вы можете увидеть подлинный автограф Гёте, его астрономические часы и кукольный театр. Вторая экспозиция – музей – представляет собой картинную галерею эпохи поэта.

A highly recommended museum. Goethe House is his birthplace in 1749, and the museum is located right beside the house. He spent his early youth in this house with his parents and sister, until he was 16 when he moved out to study law in Leipzig. The house was destroyed during the World War II bombing in 1949 but then restored similar to its original form after the war. You can find wonderful paintings, furniture and also you can find out about the history of the house and its residents there. Regular entry fee 7 €, unemployed and students 3 €

Ig: @oursceneos We only had the chance to admire Goethe's House from the outside, but even that glimpse left us truly captivated. The architecture is stunning, with its elegant lines and historical charm. Standing before it, we were filled with a sense of wonder and curiosity, eager to explore the interior and discover the stories held within its walls. It's a place that beckons you to return and immerse yourself in its rich cultural and literary history. Anyone who appreciates history and art will surely find it an inspiring visit.

If you're interested in Goethe and his life, visiting this house can be fascinating for you. At the entrance, there are papers in several languages providing historical details and information about the house's different floors. My suggestion is to add explanations directly on the house objects, in addition to these guide papers, or at least write the room names on their doors to avoid confusion. There were some paintings on the wall with no information provided either on the guide paper or directly on them.
