Dr. Johannes Faust was a German astrologer and magician.Little is known about the historical Faust, but he probably lived from about 1480 to 1540.People of the time considered him a fraud and a criminal; Martin Luther believed that he had devilish powers.A crude biography appeared in 1587.The unknown author borrowed many sensational legends about other magicians.In 1588 Christopher Marlowe wrote a tragedy based on that biography.The greatest literary version of the Faust story was a radically-changed drama by Goethe, in 1808 and 1832.The historical Faust is believed to have lived in Knittlingen, Wuerttemberg, where there is a Dr. Johannes Faust House.This house was later occupied by Alexander Dürrwächter (1798-1862), a carpenter.He was my second great-granduncle.Photographs of the Fault House and its Dürrwächter connection courtesy of Jörg Dürrwächter - Ebenezer Pattison (31 KB)
