    Waldsassen is located on the European Goethestraße and was visited several times by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Waldsassen honors the poet with a Goethesäule at the same place. The column, designed by Erwin Otte, shows a portrait of Goethe, shot in glass, partially laminated with colored antique glass, and although it should be recognizable, yet graphically abstract, that is modern.
    The portrait glass surfaces, also arranged as a triangle, are arranged in the center and point to the granite seat stone and the text plates in the floor. A cobblestone strip leads in the direction of the basilica and symbolizes the European Goethe Strasse 1786.
