Maison de Brecht à Svendborg

The house stands at Skovsbo Strand, with its thatched roof and half-timbered structure overlooking the Svendborg Sund waters.

From 1933 to 1939, German playwright Bertolt Brecht and his wife Helene Weigel lived in this house while seeking refuge from Nazi persecution.

During his stay, Brecht wrote several major works including Mother Courage and Her Children, Life of Galileo, and the Svendborg Poems collection.

The property now functions as a residence for international artists and researchers, offering accommodations for up to four people with modern amenities.

The weekly rental fee of 2100 DKK includes access to bicycles, wireless internet, kitchen facilities, and complete household furnishings.
