Kurt Tucholsky Literaturmuseum, Literary museum in Rheinsberg Palace, Germany.
The Kurt Tucholsky Literaturmuseum is located in Rheinsberg Palace and displays manuscripts, photographs, books, and personal objects belonging to the author. The collection also includes works by his associates such as Siegfried Jacobsohn and Carl von Ossietzky, who engaged with related themes.
Tucholsky was a writer during the Weimar Republic who used his work to challenge the political conditions of his time. The institution opened in 1993 to preserve his legacy and that of his contemporaries.
The museum's name recalls Kurt Tucholsky, who wrote under the pseudonyms Kaspar Hauser, Peter Panter, Theobald Tiger and Ignaz Wrobel. Its holdings also cover his first wife Else Weil and the poets Armin Wegner and Erich Arendt, as well as the naturalist Alfred Wegener. Readings and changing art and literature exhibitions accompany the permanent display.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with hours varying by season. It is helpful to check the specific opening times before your visit, as they shift throughout the year.
Since 1995, the museum has awarded the annual Stadtschreiber zu Rheinsberg scholarship to two selected authors each year. This program allows contemporary writers to spend time in Rheinsberg and create new works.
