“The art of making an object unknown, and yet known and attractive, therein lies the poetics of romanticism.” Thus wrote Novalis, himself renowned poet of German romanticism, in his Fragments and Studies. The statement could have very well been the inspiration for the design of the German Romanticism Museum in Frankfurt. A most curious ensemble was created here by Mäckler
Architekten, next door to the house on the street named Großer Hirschgraben, where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born: Three townhouses with eclectically structured rendered facades rise above a plinth of reddish mottled sandstone.
