One of its claims to fame is the fact that in 1768, the famous German author Goethe traveled through Wurzen and had to wait a long time for the ferry over the Mulde River. While waiting for the boat, he was doing some thinking and later wrote a part of Faust.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wurzen - Colorful Town With Culture, Architecture, History, Etc.|url=https://www.mygermancity.com/wurzen|access-date=2022-08-05|language=en-US}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} == Other websites == {{Commonscat-inline}} *[http://www.wurzen.de/ Official website] {{multistub|geo|Europe}} [[Category:Leipzig (district)]]
