After failing his doctoral examination in law at the University of Strasbourg in 1772, Goethe, a disappointment to his father, is sent to the small town of Wetzlar in Hesse, Germany, to work in the imperial law court there. Goethe is bored by the tedious tasks he’s assigned at work and aspires to become a poet, but becomes distracted when he meets Lotte Buff, the beautiful daughter of a widower. Conflict arises when Goethe begins to fall in love with Lotte, who is engaged to Goethe’s boss. The ensuing events cause Goethe to write his renowned novel<em>, The Sorrows of Young Werther</em>, which brought him so much of his acclaim. Through romance, tragedy, and disappointment, the film is an entertaining perspective on one of the greatest minds in German history.</p> <p><em>While the film draws upon history for its inspiration, many of the details of the film and of Goethe’s life are fabricated. This film may contain themes unsuitable for young children. </em></p> <p><strong>This film will be shown in German with GERMAN subtitles.</strong></p> <p>Coffee and cake will be provided!</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong> <a href="https://gahmusa.org/mailster/9362/00000000000000000000000000000000/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS9tYXBzL3BsYWNlL0dlcm1hbi1BbWVyaWNhbitIZXJpdGFnZStNdXNldW0rb2YrdGhlK1VTQS9AMzguODk5MjE3LC03Ny4wMjE3ODYxLDE3ei9kYXRhPSEzbTEhNGIxITRtNSEzbTQhMXMweDg5YjdiN2M3ZWRiNzEzMjc6MHg0MzU3MTJjODE2MjM3YTI2IThtMiEzZDM4Ljg5OTIxMjghNGQtNzcuMDE5NTk3NA">GAHM, 719 Sixth St. NW Washington, DC 20001</a></p> <p><strong>Kindly request your reservation at <a href="mailto:info@gahmusa.org">info@gahmusa.org</a> or by telephone at 202.467.5000</strong></p> Image Add new address No location 611 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia, PA 19123, Philadelphia 719 6th St NW, Washington, DC 20001 719 6th St NW, Washington, United States German-American Heritage Museum, 719 6th Street, Washington, DC 20001 German American Friendship Garden, 1600 Constitution Avenue, Washington, DC 20006 Village Brauhaus, 710 King Street, Alexandria, VA, USA -- Country --United StatesUSA -- City --WashingtonAlexandria, VA Select Organizer(s) New Organizer Date & Time 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 00 05 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 All day 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 00 05 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Repeat SchemeNo repeat Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly By day: SU MO TU WE TH FR SA Repeat gap: No gap 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829 Repeat ends on: Never After occurrences On date Date exception: Add exdate Guests & Schedule Add Guest Add Timespan Additional Information Select CalendarFeaturedNo Yes Yes, with backgroundCounterDisabled EnabledCommentsDisabled Enabled Icon TypeIconDateSelect IconNo Icon Animals Airport Bar Birthday Party Business Bus tour Bike Bomb Camping Cruise Coffee Cycling Court Hall Football Gaming Graduation Hotel Karaoke Book Icon Movie Museum Music Photo Picture/Painting Restaurant Race Shopping Show Tavern Talks Ticket Train Wheelchair Binocular Bed Bolt Check Sign Conversation Credit Card Diamond Envelope Female Silhouette Male Silhouette Child Silhouette Fire Extinguisher Hand Peace Sign Hand Point Up Heart Key Gravel Life Ring Lightbulb Money Moon Shopping Bag Video Camera Ambulance PayPal Google Wallet USD Sign Bitcoin Sign British Pound Sign Euro Sign Apple Logo Amazon Logo Android Logo Instagram Logo Facebook Logo Steam Logo Twitch Logo Yelp Logo Twitter Logo YouTube Logo Stethoscope Heartbeat Doctor Hospital Medkit Scissors Pie Chart Transgender Symbol Male Sex Symbol Female Sex Symbol Blind Men Symbol Sign Language Symbol Newspaper Flag Hashtag Snapchat Logo Subway Share Icon Sign Language Icon Odnoklassniki Logo Multi-language Icon Puzzle Piece Television Desktop Calculator Cubes BookSelect Categories Author Information Previous Next
