Schubartstube

The Schubartstube is a literary museum housed in a former administrative building of Blaubeuren Monastery, displaying manuscripts and personal items belonging to German writers. The collection features first editions, correspondence, and artistic works spanning different periods.

The location is linked to poet Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, who was arrested here in 1777 by order of Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg. This dramatic event marks a pivotal moment in both the writer's life and the region's history.

The museum tells a story rooted in the region, showcasing writers who shaped the area's literary identity. Visitors can observe how local artists drew inspiration directly from their surroundings and the landscape around them.

The museum is located at Klosterhof 8 and sits within easy reach of the town center. It is best to contact ahead to check opening hours and arrange group tours if desired.

The collection holds original silhouette artworks by Luise Duttenhofer depicting scenes inspired by local literary works created in the region. These delicate artistic pieces reveal a rare connection between literature and visual art from the 1800s.
