List of articles I wish to work on during my time at the Freies Deutsches Hochstift in August 2022.

Articles to create:


 * Freies Deutsches Hochstift (the institute itself, will use the library and be assisted by staff, namely Director of Library Joachim Seng.) I will disclose my COI in edit summaries and on the talk page.
 * Ernst Beutler (academic) (director of the Goethe House, one of the founders of the Goethe Prize)
 * Anton Radl (german painter whose works are in the institute collection.)
 * Willemer-Häuschen (a garden house on the same road at the Goethe House [see below] where Goethe met Marianne von Willemer [see below], has quite a long German wikipedia article)
 * Stella (Goethe) (a tragedy by Goethe, has a German article but no English one.)
 * Novelle (Goethe) ( a novella by Goethe, has a German article but no English one.)

Articles to improve


 * Goethe House (house in which Goethe was born. Current article is quiet short. Should be easy to improve using the library of the institute.)


 * Faust, Part One (play by Goethe, one of his most famous works. The English article gets 4000 monthly views and is rated high-importance by WikiProject Theatre and WikiProject Germany (as of May 2022) but the article is not very good - consists mostly of a plot summary with no other information, relies largely on one source.)


 * Johann Caspar Goethe (father of Goethe. Current article lacking content and citations, gets 400+ monthly views.)
 * Katharina Elisabeth Goethe (mother of Goethe. Current article lacking content and citations, gets 400+ monthly views.)
 * Johann Heinrich Tischbein (artist, in collection.)
 * Johann Jakob Wilhelm Heinse (author, in collection. Current article is quite short.)
 * Johann Uz (poet, in collection. Current article is a stub with one source.)
 * Johann Karl Wezel (poet, novelist, in collection. Current article is quite short.)
 * Hugo von Hofmannsthal (Austrian playwright, collection has ~3000 items about him. Current article is not bad; one section needs more citations, should also be able to add more content using the library.)
 * The Theatre Considered as a Moral Institution (text by Friedrich Schiller. Current article is a stub.)
 * Georg Büchner (dramatist, writer. The article gets 2800~ monthly views and is rated as high-importance by WikiProject Germany but is ranked as start-class, lacks citations.)
 * Woyzeck (most famous play by Büchner, article gets 4700~ monthly views. Needs more citations, analysis, cleanup.)
 * Otto Volger (geologist, bought Goethe House in 1863 and restored it. Current article has no references. Should be able to add more citations and content using institute's archives.)
 * Charlotte Buff (woman with whom Goethe fell in love; inspired a character in his The Sorrows of Young Werther, which Goethe wrote at the Goethe House. Current article is a stub, lacks citations, and only focuses on her relation to Goethe.)
 * Marianne von Willemer (Austrian actress, muse of Goethe. Wrote some of the poems in Goethe’s West–östlicher Divan. Current article is a stub, lacks citations.)
 * Karoline von Günderrode (poet. Current article is quite short, and lacks references)
 * Bettina von Arnim (writer, novelist. Current article is not bad, will add references to the unreferenced sections)
 * Caroline Schelling (intellectual. Current article is short, relies mostly on 1 reference)
 * Dorothea von Schlegel (novelist and translator. Current article needs rewriting, and has no references.)
