Frankfurter Goethe-Haus, Frankfurt am Main | Hours, exhibitions and artworks on Artsupp

The Frankfurter Goethe-Haus (Goethe house) is a house-museum in Frankfurt. It is located in the historic center of Frankfurt and is the faithful reconstruction of the poet's original birthplace, as the royal one was destroyed in 1944. Rebuilt shortly after the Second World War, the house was officially inaugurated in 1951. Goethe was born there in 1749 and there he spent his youth until 1775, when he moved to Leipzig to study law. It was in the house of his parents, a wealthy family of high social rank, that Goethe created his first works, including Götz von Berlichingen, the Faust and the pains of the young Werther. The family life of the Goethas and the city of Frankfurt in the 18th century comes to life in the unique atmosphere of the originally furnished rooms. The entrance leads to the three rooms on the ground floor: the kitchen, where you can see an original water pump connected to a well in the cellar; the yellow room, which contains the collection of the poet's maternal family and the blue room, that is the ancient dining room. A monumental staircase leads to the upper floors where the red room is located, a place where guests were received and parties and receptions were held. The name is due to the silk upholstery which reflected the exotic and oriental taste of the period. Then there is the music room, with a vertical pyramid plan of extreme rarity. The second floor of the house sees several rooms, including the one where the poet was born and the library, where there are still about 2000 volumes. Finally, on the third floor is the writing room, the real kingdom of Johann Wolfang, which preserves the original desk of the poet.
