Description
The Hebbel Museum is a literature museum in Wesselburen housed in an 18th-century building where dramatist Friedrich Hebbel lived for seven years. Ten historical rooms display furniture, household items, pictures, and documents from his life.
History
The museum was founded in 1911 and relocated to its current building in 1952, which had previously served as the parish bailiff's office. The timing of its establishment in the early 20th century reflects the period's recognition of Hebbel's literary legacy.
