Lottehaus, Literary museum in Wetzlar, Germany.
The Lottehaus museum occupies a timber-framed building from 1653, featuring original furnishings and household items from an 18th-century middle-class family residence.
The building served as the administrative office of the Teutonic Order until Charlotte Buff lived there with her eleven siblings, where she met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1772.
Three dedicated rooms display various editions of Goethe's novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', along with manuscripts, paintings, and period-specific objects from the Buff family.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 between April and October, with reduced hours from November to March.
The Lottehaus contains an extensive collection of 18th and 19th-century translations, critiques, and interpretations of Goethe's 'Werther' novel, documenting its international influence.
