Goethe Monument (Naschmarkt, Leipzig)
Highlight • Monument
Goethe came from a respected middle-class family; his maternal grandfather was the highest judicial officer in the city of Frankfurt as a mayor, his father a doctor of law and an imperial councillor. He and his sister Cornelia received extensive training from tutors. Following his father's wishes, Goethe studied law in Leipzig and Strasbourg and then worked as a lawyer in Wetzlar and Frankfurt. At the same time he followed his passion for poetry. He achieved his first recognition in the world of literature in 1773 with the drama Götz von Berlichingen, which earned him national success, and in 1774 with the epistolary novel Die Leiden desjugens Werther, to which he owed even European success. Both works can be assigned to the literary movement of Sturm und Drang (1765 to 1785).
At the age of 26 he was invited to the court of Weimar, where he eventually settled for the rest of his life. As a friend and minister of Duke Carl August, he held political and administrative offices there and headed the court theater for a quarter of a century. The official activity with the neglect of his creative abilities triggered a personal crisis after the first Weimar decade, which Goethe escaped by fleeing to Italy. He experienced the trip to Italy from September 1786 to May 1788 as a "rebirth". He owed her the completion of important works such as Iphigenia in Tauris (1787), Egmont (1788) and Torquato Tasso (1790).
