Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus, Cultural and historical museum in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus is a museum in Düsseldorf dedicated to German and Eastern European history. The modern building features transparent glass on the ground floor and regular windows above, with a carillon mounted on the left side of the facade.
The house was founded in 1963 to preserve and research the history of Germans from Eastern Europe. It emerged as a response to displacement and migration following World War II and continues to serve as an important archive for this period.
The house is named after writer Gerhart Hauptmann, who had deep roots in Eastern Europe. Visitors can see how displaced communities from that region maintained their cultural traditions and memories.
The museum houses a specialized library with roughly 90,000 materials on German history in Eastern Europe. You can visit Monday through Friday, with extended hours on Tuesday and Thursday.
The museum has published the quarterly journal West-Ost-Journal since 1994. This ongoing publication documents ongoing exchanges and relationships between the cultures.
