Goethe Museum (Stützerbach)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gundelach's house

The Goethemuseum Stützerbach in Stützerbach between Ilmenau and Schleusingen is set up in the former house of the glassworks owner Johann Niclaus Gundelach, whose grandson Gottlob († 1778) and great grandson Johann Daniel Gundelach († 1811) Goethe visited thirteen times between 1776 and 1780. Although Goethe stayed in Stützerbach a total of 13 times from 1776 to 1781, there is only one entry in his diary from July 25, 1776 in the name of Gundelach. “Early the duke after Frauw. u Schleusingen. I in the afternoon. to Stüzzerbach with Einsiedel. At night at Gundlach ”. Goethe's letters to Gundelach have probably not survived. Even Karl August of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (1757-1828) resided with him. Goethe's visits were probably connected with his office of supervisory supervision of mining in the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach and with the porcelain production that began in Ilmenau in 1777. Gundelach came from a family that had been involved in the glassmaking trade for several generations and was also a partner in the Allzunah glassworks .

The building is two-story with a high slate mansard roof . The later owners ensured that the "Goethe Room" was kept in its old condition. It has been a public Goethe memorial since 1962. The museum familiarizes visitors with Goethe's scientific studies and his writings on mining matters in Ilmenau, shows papers with the Stützerbach watermark and provides insights into the history of technical glass and paper production.

Apart from this house in Stützerbach, Goethe frequented Johann Elias Glaser's .

The facility is the terminus of the Goethe hiking trail Ilmenau – Stützerbach , which begins in Ilmenau .
