Brahmshaus

The Brahmshaus is a museum housed in a historic residence on Maximilianstraße that displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal items belonging to composer Johannes Brahms. The building shows multiple rooms furnished with original pieces and documents from when he lived there.

Johannes Brahms visited this residence regularly during the summer months between 1865 and 1874. During these years he composed some of his most important works, including his first two symphonies.

The rooms preserve the spaces where Brahms composed and created, giving visitors a direct sense of how he lived during his summer stays. The furnishings reveal the daily environment of a 19th-century composer at work.

The museum operates on limited hours, so planning ahead is helpful for a successful visit. The setting in a private residence means the experience is more intimate than in a typical museum building.

On the ground floor, musicologists and modern composers work in a studio surrounded by an extensive collection of Brahms materials. This working space shows how the house still functions today as an active center for musical research.
