Erich Kästner Museum, Literary museum in Dresden, Germany
The Erich Kästner Museum features original editions, personal items, and interactive displays within the Villa Augustin, presenting the author's work through dynamic exhibitions.
The museum opened in 1999 to commemorate the literary legacy of Erich Kästner, who was born in Dresden in 1899 and became one of Germany's influential writers.
The institution maintains a collection of first editions, manuscripts, and personal belongings that document Kästner's contributions to German literature and children's books.
Visitors can explore the museum from Friday to Wednesday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with access available through tram lines 3, 6, 7, 8, and 11.
A bronze sculpture by Mathyas Varga depicts young Kästner on the wall, while outside the museum stands a tree where visitors throw pairs of shoes.
