Weimar - Goethe House

In the Frauenplan in Weimar, adjoining the historic old "White Swan" inn, is the Goethe House, a plain Baroque building (1709) in which Goethe lived from 1782 until his death in 1832. Furnished as it was in Goethe's time, with his pictures on the walls, it contains his art and scientific collections. Adjoining his work-room are the modest room in which he died and his library (5,400 volumes). Behind the house is a small garden.

The upper floor of the house contains the Goethe National Museum, with a wide range of material on his life and work.

A short distance away, at Ackerwand 25, can be seen the house of Goethe's friend Frau von Stein.
