Wetzlar has a range of almost obligatory Goethe sites–the tourist office provides a pamphlet with details. The most famous is the Lottehaus, in the complex that used to belong to the Order of the Teutonic Knights. A museum was opened here in 1863 to keep alive the memory of the summer of 1772, when Goethe almost daily visited Charlotte Buff, who lived here. The museum contains items used by the Buff family as well as other period furniture. Three rooms are dedicated to Werther, including a rare first edition, translations, and comments from the period. One of the most famous German literary paintings hangs here: Lotte Cutting Bread.
