Goethe and Schiller Archives

The Goethe and Schiller Archives contain over 150 estates of writers, scholars, philosophers, composers, and fine artists from German cultural history.

Founded in 1885, the archives stand as Germany's oldest literary repository, preserving manuscripts and correspondence from the end of the 13th century.

The collection holds documents from 3,000 writers, including works from the Goethe Society and the General German Music Association.

Located at Jenaer Strasse in Weimar, the archives offer multimedia reading rooms and guided tours through their extensive manuscript collections.

UNESCO recognized Goethe's literary estate within these archives in 2001, designating it as part of the Memory of the World register.
