Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of Germany's great writers, described the history of Catholicism as a hotchpotch of errors and violence.
He was born in Frankfurt-am-Main in 1749 and died in Weimar in 1832, where he is buried.
The former GDR authorities made much play on his association with Weimar, which is in the territory of the former GDR.
