In the first days of November 1792, after the campaign against the French Revolutionary Army, Goethe travelled for the second time along the Rhine from Koblenz to Düsseldorf in order to visit the Jacobi family in Pempelfort and to rest from his wartime experiences. Numerous loans from the Jacobi family gave the possibility to document Goethe’s visits to Düsseldorf as well as other aspects of his relationship to Fritz Jacobi.

These items, including portraits, letters and other keepsakes are to be seen in the adjoining room.
