Hint: He is well known for two completely different things which have nothing to do with each other.

Yeah, I thought Goethe was a bit too easy. Did he write poetry?

No, not poetry. And writing books was only one of the things he is famous for. And his writings usually fell into a specific kind of literature..

Hint about the other thing he is famous for: There is a natural phenomenon named after him.

Can we see this natural phenomenon on the cover of a VdGG album?

I think both someone_else and desistindo missed a go recently, so I’ll leave it to one of them to come up with the answer. Btw Wiki says he was the 17th child, but maybe there was a stillborn they don’t count?

How on earth are you finding him?  I have no clue just yet!

I've worked out it's not Johann Georg Estor though.
