Caspar Voght's library Caspar Voght's library

Many authors whom Voght knew personally, such as F. G. Klopstock, J. J. Rousseau, Goethe, and Lessing, sent copies of their books with personal dedications. When Voght died in 1839, his collection was auctioned off. It is not known who bought the books. With the help of the auctioneer's preserved directory, part of the library has been reconstructed in this exhibition.
