About
حقائق سريعة: In the small garden house you often smell wood and ink, a famous poet spent many afternoons there with notebook and quill. Numerous drawings, letters and personal items are on display, some exhibits come from private collections.
النقاط البارزة: From the cramped study the view reaches over the flower beds, you feel the dusty smell of old paper and the creak of the floorboards underfoot. Right on the desk lies a dark quill next to yellowed sheets, visitors learn that Friedrich Schiller wrote many drafts and notes there.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the house has narrow steps and uneven paths in the garden.
- Photograph the house from the garden gate at golden hour for soft light and the best composition.
- Ask the attendant for the short room-by-room history, staff often share little-known anecdotes.
- Skip the full audio tour if pressed for time, the on-site panels explain the highlights in under 10 minutes.
