It was rebuilt by Goethe's father in the mid-18th century on the site of his grandmother's old home. The interior has been meticulously restored to reflect its appearance during the time the family lived there: the ground floor features an 18th-century style kitchen with the original manual water pump and a blue dining room; the second floor houses a family music room with a rare pyramid-shaped upright piano and a reception hall; the third floor contains the room where Goethe was born and the family gallery; and the top floor houses his writing study and a childhood puppet theater described in his autobiography. The furnishings on each floor were restored based on family documents, with furniture, paintings, and personal items layered throughout, presenting a picture of life for the wealthy citizen class in 18th-century Frankfurt.

The Iron Bridge spans the Main River, connecting the north and south banks of Frankfurt. It is the first suspension bridge in Europe. You can stop on the bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of Frankfurt, hang a love lock to show your affection to your dog, or take a cruise ship or steam train for a short trip from here.
