FRANK, Ernst: Goethe in Elbogener Ländchen. 156 s. Praha 1944
Frank describes in detail Goethe's 17 visits to Lokt (Elbogen) and the surrounding area. He focuses on his accommodation at the White Horse Hotel (Weiße Roß), meetings with the Levetzow family, and the celebration of his 74th birthday. The book is valuable for its description of local realities and quotations from Goethe's diaries relating to this area. The author was an active supporter of the Sudeten German movement and the brother of Karl Hermann Frank. His work was strongly influenced by National Socialism. After his deportation, he lived in West Germany, where he became a very prolific author within the Sudeten German associations. Unlike other authors, Frank did not significantly distance himself from his earlier positions in the post-war period; in his books (e.g. about his brother or the history of the Sudetenland), he often interpreted history from the perspective of the exiles and defended the German role in Bohemia. Although the 1944 publication is influenced by the ideology of the time (Goethe as a symbol of the German spirit in the "borderland"), it remains an important source of facts about the Loket cult of Goethe for researchers.
FRANK, Ernst: Goethes böhmische Wanderungen. 158 s. Frankfurt am Main 1956
The book is one of Ernst Frank's best-known and most extensive works on this topic. In contrast to the narrowly focused Loket study from 1944, this work is a synthesis. Frank maps all the places that Goethe visited in Bohemia - from Mariánské Lázně and Karlovy Vary to Teplice and Prague. He describes Goethe's relationships with women (Ulrika von Levetzow), scientists and the Czech landscape. German
