Talk (in German) on the relationship between Goethe and the Islam, following her books Goethe und der Islam and Goethe und die Arabische Welt. From his early correspondences with among other Herder and Lessing, when he was still an adolescent, and his sketches for a theatre play on the Prophet, to his period of idenfitying with Persian poet Hafez and writing the West-Eastern Diwan West-östlicher Diwan.
The opening reference to the question whether Goethe was a Muslim is not Mommsen's. To my opinion it is more interesting to consider on the thoughts of Goethe, as both a rational and spiritual person, between Enlightenment and Romanticism.
