Günter Grass House

The Günter Grass House is a museum in Lübeck's Old City dedicated to the writer's artistic works, displaying drawings, prints, watercolors, and sculptures. The collection spans works from different periods of his life and documents his varied creative practice.

The building on Glockengießerstraße served as the writer's office and workspace before being converted into a museum following his death in 2015. The transformation preserved the rooms as a place where his artistic ideas took form.

The house is named after the writer whose works shaped the city's cultural identity, and the rooms show how his political activism influenced his artistic output. One can observe how literature and visual art were deeply connected in his life and thinking.

The museum is located in Lübeck's Old City and is easily accessible on foot, with information boards explaining the exhibition. It is worth planning time to explore the individual rooms and examine the artworks at a comfortable pace.

The house offers digital experiences where visitors can immerse themselves in Grass's novel The Tin Drum through interactive installations. This technology unusually connects his written works with contemporary exhibition practices.
