Datos rápidos: 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.

Destacados: 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.
