Typical of the residential bourgeoisie culture of the late Baroque Period, the house where poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in 1749, is worth the visit not only because of its celebrated dweller, but also because it offers an interesting insight into what the typical lifestyle was like in the 18th Century. Although the pieces of furniture are not originals, each room has tried to be restored in as close a resemblance to the originals as possible.

Close to the House is the Goethe Museum, with an attractive gallery of pictures exclusively featuring Goethe's era. There are also works by important German artists of all eras, ranking from the late Baroque Period through to the Sturm und Drang movement, the Classic and Romantic Periods until the times of the Biedermeier style.
