Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published the first part of Faust in 1888.
 In Leipzig, Goethe fell in love with craftsman and innkeeper's daughter Anna Katharina Schnkopf and wrote cheerful verses about her in the Rococo genre
 Goethe's comments and observations form the basis of several biographical works, notably Johann Peter Eckermann's Conversations with Goethe (1836)
