„I imagine Goethe climbing these stairs, or Schiller gazing upon the trees from these windows; they would have been filled with a most pleasant feeling of satisfaction had they envisioned these rooms with their writings as a reflection of the future.“
Herman Grimm to Grand Duchess Sophie of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach (17 September 1896)
The three large rooms on the first floor represent the core of the archive.
