Goethe House, Frankfurt. Goethe's father remodeled two houses into one in the 1750s. Like many of Germany's historic buildings, it was destroyed by bombing during WWII and later rebuilt. ...

I was totally fantasizing about moving in while touring the house. #literarytravel #noveldestinations #goethe #goethehouse #frankfurt #germany #classiclit #classicwriters
