StifterHaus--Zentrum für Literatur und Sprache in OÖ, Literature and language museum at Adalbert-Stifter-Platz, Linz, Austria.
The StifterHaus is a literature and language museum in Linz dedicated to the work and life of writer Adalbert Stifter. It displays objects from different periods, including letters, paintings, drawings, and personal items that document the cultural diversity of Upper Austria.
The building was constructed in 1844 and was used as a residence by writer Adalbert Stifter starting in 1848. After he left, the house was converted into a literature museum in 1993 to preserve his legacy and Upper Austrian literary history.
The house is named after Adalbert Stifter, who lived and worked in it from 1848 until his death in 1868. Since 2005 the institution has published the literary magazine Die Rampe, and readings are held in the building. The former study is kept as a memorial room with his furniture, manuscripts, paintings and death mask.
The museum is centrally located at Adalbert-Stifter-Platz in Linz and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should note that opening hours vary between weekdays and Friday, and guided tours are available upon request for small and large groups.
The memorial room in Stifter's former study holds his death mask, along with authentic furniture, manuscripts, paintings, drawings and portraits. The writer, born in 1805, lived in this house from 1848 until his death in 1868.
