In Goethe's footsteps

At the beginning of May 1772, the young Johann Wolfgang Goethe arrived in Wetzlar to do an internship at the Imperial
at the Imperial Chamber Court at the request of his father. Primarily - as his father had
desired - to devote himself to the law. However, he did this only reluctantly, preferring instead to devote himself to his literary work to his literary work. Two years after his stay in Wetzlar, he wrote his famous epistolary novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther. The Sorrows of Young Werther. In it, Goethe deals with his own unhappy love for the Wetzlar woman
Charlotte Buff. Today, Goethe's stay in Wetzlar is commemorated by the Lotte House and the Jerusalem House, which belong to the Municipal Museums. In addition, the Imperial Chamber Court Museum can be visited.
