Goethe research
Both amateur and scientific preoccupation with the life and work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe are referred to as Goethe research or Goethe research . It is operated either privately or often also institutionally by Goethe associations or Goethe institutes . These associations are also dedicated to the memory and maintenance of awareness for him.
The work of no other German-speaking poet still meets with as great a response as Goethe's. His works are seen as representatives of Weimar Classics and German literature in general and are still read around the world today. This also explains the existence of a lively association and research activity in the sense of Goethe research, as is the case with no other writer . His scientific writings are also the subject of intensive research, for example in connection with the commentary in the Leopoldina edition.
