EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the winter pastime of Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin's dear friend and literary titan, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, as he gracefully glides across the icy waters of the Römerberg in Frankfurt, Germany, during the late 18th century. The serene scene, bathed in the soft glow of twilight, transports us back in time to an era when the frosty weather brought communities together to engage in festive activities. Goethe, a man of many talents, was not only an influential writer and statesman but also an avid skater. This photograph, though a work of art in its own right, offers a glimpse into the historical context of ice-skating customs in Germany during the 18th century. The Römerberg, Frankfurt's historic old town, is adorned with quaint, half-timbered houses, their windows aglow with the warm light of lanterns. The snow-covered rooftops and trees add to the enchanting winter tableau. The air is filled with the sound of laughter and joy as Goethe and his companions engage in playful activities, such as throwing snowballs and participating in various ice-skating games. The camaraderie and shared experience of these simple pleasures bring a sense of unity and connection to the community. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions of Frankfurt and Germany during the 18th century. It invites us to reflect on the simple joys of winter and the importance of cherishing the moments we share with our loved ones. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring power of history to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire our own sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around us.
