Theodor-Storm-Haus, Literature museum in Husum, Germany.
The Theodor-Storm-Haus is an old merchant house in Husum containing 14 rooms that display the living and working areas of the German writer. The building preserves furnished rooms, personal belongings, and manuscripts that document his residence there.
The house was constructed in 1730 and served as Theodor Storm's residence from 1866 to 1880. During these years he created numerous novellas and poems that left their mark on German literature.
Theodor Storm's name remains tied to this home, where visitors see his study and living quarters exactly as he used them daily. The rooms reflect how he lived between writing and family life in this northern German town.
The museum is accessible most days and visitors should allow one to two hours for viewing the displayed rooms. The exhibition spans multiple levels, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
The study contains a desk decorated with owl figures that artist Emil Nolde specifically created. This decoration reveals the artistic connections Storm maintained with other talented figures of his time.
