Excursion to Wetzlar, Sat. Feb 8th

On Saturday February 8th, Goethe Welcome Centre organized an excursion to the city of Wetzlar for international researchers and their families. We started the excursion with a walking tour around the historical city of Wetzlar, where we were visited different city highlights including the Domplatz, Kornmarkt, Eisenmarkt. Afterwards we visited the Lottehaus, where Lotte used to live - a character on which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe based his novel “Sorrows of the young Werther". We enjoyed lunch in a beautiful restaurant in the old town. Afterwards the Museum Viseum was visited in which many interactive installations helped us learn more about the history of optical industries in Wetzlar. Walking back through the old town and visiting different areas in the city, we finished this beautiful day in Wetzlar.
