Hiking

The fountain was built in honor of Goethe and is a stop on the Ilmenau-Stützerbach Goethe hiking trail. Goethe visited Ilmenau frequently, among other things because of his work as mining minister. There are other tombstones of Goethe's contemporaries in the cemetery, such as the grave of Corona Schröter right at the entrance to the cemetery.

Hiking

The Goethe fountain on the main path of the Ilmenau cemetery was inaugurated in honor of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1932, in the 100th year after his death. The artistic design was carried out by the Bauhaus student Wilhelm Löber.

Hiking

Despite all the sights in the cemetery, it is rather inconspicuous. Nevertheless: you should come here and take a look around.
