Goethe's House Weimar
Goethes Wohnhaus
The residence where Goethe lived for nearly 50 years and died. The study, library and art collection are preserved as they were. It is the core of the World Heritage site “Classical Weimar.”
From 1782 until his death in 1832, Goethe lived in this Baroque house on Frauenplan, where he wrote the second part of Faust. The house preserves the drawing room, his study, his bedroom and about 6,500 books, as well as his collections of paintings, minerals and sculpture. The neighbouring Goethe National Museum tells the story of his life. Admission is about €15. The house is closed on Mondays. In peak season, it is advisable to book a timed ticket in advance.
