Review:
The Goethe House honors the life and times of famous German writer Johann Wolfgang Goethe. The Frankfurt home was Goethe’s birthplace and childhood residence, where he lived out his early years with his sister Cornelia. The four floors of this beautiful historic house are restored to look as they did in Goethe’s time, and each of the rooms is decorated in a uniform style to represent the fashion of the day. Many original artifacts are still located here, and portraits give visitors a sense of what Goethe’s family looked like. The history of Goethe’s Frankfurt years can be explored in an exhibit on the third floor.
