Kramer-Witwen-Wohnung, Historical museum in Hamburg-Mitte, Germany.
The Kramer-Witwen-Wohnung is a former residential building in Hamburg-Mitte with 19th-century furniture and household objects displayed in their original rooms. The apartments reveal how people actually lived and furnished their homes during that era.
The building was constructed in the 17th century as housing for widows of guild members and stands as one of Hamburg's few remaining examples of that era's courtyard architecture. It represents a particular form of care that provided independent living spaces for women without husbands.
The rooms show how merchant widows were able to live independently here, even though women had few rights at that time. You can see in the apartments how these women shaped their daily lives and what social space this place provided for them.
The museum is located near St. Michael's Church and is easily accessible by local transit. Visitors should check opening hours before visiting, as the site may be closed on certain days.
The rooms are arranged to preserve an exact snapshot of daily life from their era, with kitchen equipment, bed furniture, and personal items in their original positions. This level of detail allows visitors to concretely imagine how a single family in Hamburg spent their days.
