Knoblauchhaus, Baroque townhouse museum in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Knoblauchhaus is a baroque townhouse in Berlin-Mitte that now functions as a museum. Inside, three floors display exhibition spaces with furnishings and objects from the Biedermeier period, including the Raphael Cabinet containing art reproductions and period furniture.
Built in 1761 by Johann Christian Knoblauch, the house served as a residence and business center for the family for over 170 years. Later it was transformed into a museum to preserve the family's role in Berlin's history.
The house shows how a prosperous Berlin family lived during the 1800s, visible in the furnishings and room arrangements throughout. Visitors experience the daily life and home customs of that era as they walk through the rooms.
The museum is located at Poststrasse 23 and opens on select days during regular hours. Plan enough time to explore the rooms on each floor and use the stairs between levels to experience the full architectural layout of the building.
A mechanical music clock from 1797 is among the personal items preserved from the Knoblauch family collection. This piece reveals the craftsmanship and taste of a prosperous Berlin household from that era.
