Brechthaus, Birth house museum in Lechviertel, Augsburg, Germany
The Brechthaus spans three floors in a former craftsman's house, featuring exhibitions about the life and works of Bertolt Brecht through documents and artifacts.
Built in the early 18th century, this building operated as a file smithy with a water-powered hammer mill when Bertolt Brecht was born there in 1898.
The museum displays first editions, stage designs, living and death masks, and maintains the preserved bedroom of Brecht's mother Sophie as part of its collection.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours through multiple exhibition rooms with video installations and a reading lounge.
A bright red stele marks the entrance, while the building sits between two Lech canals, reflecting its industrial past as a metalworking facility.
