Brecht House, Literary residence in Oranienburger Vorstadt, Berlin.
The two-story building on Chausseestrasse 125 contains preserved living quarters, a literature forum, and exhibition spaces dedicated to theatrical works.
German playwright Bertolt Brecht and actor Helene Weigel resided in this house from 1953 until their deaths in 1956 and 1971 respectively.
The Brecht House maintains an exhibition room on the ground floor displaying photographs and biographical materials about the influential theater practitioners.
Visitors can join guided tours of three furnished rooms daily from 10:00 to 11:30, except Mondays, with extended hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The property stands next to Dorotheenstädtischer Cemetery, where both Brecht and Weigel chose to be buried according to their final wishes.
