Jägerhof

The Jägerhof is a castle in Düsseldorf that functions today as a museum, displaying over 800 original objects within its rooms. The building spans multiple floors and presents collections that document a writer's life and creative work.

The building was constructed between 1748 and 1772 under the orders of Elector Carl Theodor and reflects the baroque architecture of that era. After suffering damage during revolutionary conflicts in 1796, it underwent major restoration in 1811.

The building is dedicated to the life and work of poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, drawing visitors interested in understanding his literature and influence on German culture. The rooms show how the writer lived and thought, offering direct access to his ideas.

The museum is located in the city center on Jacobistraße 2 and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors will find multiple exhibitions spread across different floors and can explore the rooms at their own pace.

The museum displays personal items and handwritten notes from the poet, showing how he created his works. These direct traces in the display cases offer a rare glimpse into the daily thoughts and habits of one of Europe's greatest writers.
