Something about Goethe
There is a plaque in Germany with the inscription "Hier kotzte Goethe," which translates to "Here Goethe vomited." This plaque is located in Tübingen, near the Martinianum, a building next to the Cottahaus. The Cottahaus was the residence of Johann Friedrich Cotta, the first publisher of Schiller and Goethe’s works. During his week-long stay in Tübingen in 1797, Goethe sought inspiration in the city’s taverns. The famous literary figure, also known for his love of parties, is commemorated by a plaque reading "Hier wohnte Goethe" (here Goethe lived). However, on the wall of the student residence next door, there is another plaque with a slightly more irreverent inscription: "Hier kotzte Goethe" (here Goethe vomited). This plaque humorously marks the spot where Goethe allegedly vomited during his visit, although there is little historical evidence to confirm the event.
