Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben-Museum

This museum occupies a renovated timber-framed castle and documents the life and work of August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben through manuscripts, letters, and original sources. The rooms display different phases of his creative life and influence.

The castle was originally built as a family residence and later occupied by Klara von Sachsen-Lauenburg. The museum opened in 1991 and transformed the building into a site dedicated to literary history.

Hoffmann von Fallersleben was a poet whose works shaped German thought and literature. The exhibitions show how his texts continue to resonate in culture and what meaning they hold for German letters.

The museum is located in the Fallersleben district and is easily reached on foot or by public transport. It is helpful to check opening days in advance since it does not open daily.

The upper floor contains a preserved wedding hall in Biedermeier style with painted wooden beams and original stucco ceilings from that era. These rooms offer a sense of how living spaces looked in earlier times.
