Wetzlar is a historic city located in the state of Hesse, Germany, situated on the Lahn River. The city is known for its well-preserved medieval old town (Altstadt) with its iconic Dom (Cathedral), a unique architectural blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles that was never fully completed.
Wetzlar has a significant industrial heritage, particularly in optics and precision mechanics. It is the birthplace of the modern optical industry and home to Leica Camera AG, making it an important site for the history of photography and lens manufacturing. The city also has literary significance as it was where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe worked as a legal trainee in 1772 and wrote parts of his famous novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther."
Today, Wetzlar combines its rich historical and cultural heritage with modern industry, particularly in the fields of optics, electronics, and engineering.
