Goethe on Demand: A literary adaptation Celebrating the 150th Birthday of Thomas Mann

Lotte in Weimar is the film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Thomas Mann, published in 1939. Mann tells the story of Charlotte Kestner, who, as Goethe's early love, inspired the character of Lotte in his novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. About 40 years later, Lotte visits Weimar and meets Goethe again.
