Bonhoeffer-Haus

The Bonhoeffer-Haus at Marienburger Allee 43 in Berlin-Charlottenburg is a residential building from the 1930s that now functions as a museum. The exhibition displays documents, photographs, and personal belongings, while upstairs Bonhoeffer's study remains with its original furnishings intact.

The house was built in 1935 as a retirement home for Professor Karl Bonhoeffer and his wife Paula. After 1945 it became a memorial site for resistance against the Nazi regime.

The house commemorates Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian whose thinking is visible through preserved books and handwritten notes throughout the rooms. The spaces show how religious conviction and political resistance were intertwined in this household.

A visit works best with advance notice, especially if joining a guided tour. The house sits in a quiet residential area that is walkable, with other museums nearby.

On the upper floor, Bonhoeffer's study remains unchanged with desk and bookshelves arranged as he used them daily. This makes the room an intimate window into his daily life and intellectual work.
