This former vineyard house in the Park on the Ilm was Goethe’s first residence in Weimar in 1776. This is where he wrote the ballad of the “Erlkönig” and the poem “To the Moon”. The cottage, furnished with original pieces of furniture such as the high desk and sitting trestle, was an important retreat for Goethe in his later years.

Set by the river Ilm in a beautiful park in Weimar, this simple house and garden personally landscaped by Goethe coneys so much of his philosophy and thinking. There are a few simple rooms to view and some poignant drawings by the author on its walls. This was Goethe’s first ever home as a young man and although later in life he lived in a more elaborate town house with is family, he always kept his “ garden house ‘ as his retreat and studio. The list of the important personages of his age who sought him out here is impressive.
