Goethe's House

Interesting place from history. Very big and give many interesting information inside. In 2026 , they will close for the renovation so when you have a chance. Try it :) ticket costs 13 Euro in 2025

I really enjoyed this experience, especially having the app to lead you through the house was amazing. Genius to have it play when you hold your phone up to your ear! Also, the backyard was extremely beautiful and it really made you feel like you walked in the same house as Goethe, it was beautiful.

Beautiful huge house on a lovely square in Weimar. I did not listen to the audio tour and managed to enjoy viewing Goethe’s city home. I recently read Andrea Wulf’s Inventing Nature about Alexander Von Humboldt’s friendship with Goethe, and more. Fascinating! The floors of this old house were really creaky.

Goethe's House, or Goethes Wohnhaus, is a captivating museum that offers an in-depth look into the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The museum provides comprehensive insights into Goethe's personal and professional life, with well-curated exhibits that include original manuscripts, personal belongings, and detailed descriptions of his contributions to literature and science. The historical ambiance of the house, combined with the extensive information provided, makes it an enriching experience for visitors. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in German literature and the life of one of its most influential figures.

The Museum itself i love and would give 5 stars. The first time i visited, 5 stars all around. I love the history. Second visit though, I was in Goethes carriage haus alone to calm down as i was crying. Before I got in the Museum, i got my tickets fine but going to the Audio guide desk, I wasnt sure what to ask for and the lady there gave me the nastiest shrug and look. It made me not know what to say so i just walked away. I didnt need an Audio guide anyway. But her expression really hurt me and i felt like a terrible person so when i got in the Museum i cried in Goethes carriage house to calm down. I then went through the Museum haus and saw my favorite parts, but the visit wasnt as long as the first time because of the sour attitude. It really meloncholied my day Weimar. I do love the Museum house because I study music history - particularly Mendelssohn, who met Goethe many times at this very house. I write books on music and currently doing a second edition of my Mendelssohn biography after having visited these places. I can be descriptive in my book about the look of the house and the rooms.

Amazing insights into the life of Goethe. Such a beautiful and inspiring space. Well presented and updated with video installations and the incredible wealth of the attached museum.

Underwhelming after seeing Goethe’s museum in Frankfurt which was nicer in my opinion. Nice things to see but not a lot of information if you do not understand German fully. The garden in the back is beautiful.

The Goethe museum costs pp € 13 pp. The Wohnung was to us the most interesting part. The other part of the museum contains many objects owned by Goethe among which several portraits. That part of the museum is definitely interesting but also has a somewhat hagiographic nature.
