About Jagemanns Restaurant

Jagemanns Restaurant is a Thuringian kitchen on one side of the Herderplatz, with the church filling the window, staying with the region's cooking rather than reaching past it. The house's own phrase for what it does is "Thüringer Küche mit Herz".

The name belongs to Caroline Jagemann

The restaurant carries her name, and the house explains why:[1] it says that Goethe's duke, Carl August of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, once lived in this building, and she with him — it calls her his beloved and leaves it there. Who she was in her own right is a longer story than a restaurant's phrasing suggests. What you can see for yourself is the address: a house on the Herderplatz old enough for the story to be possible.
