Lessinghaus

The Lessinghaus exhibits Late Baroque architecture with features of French park château design, standing next to the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel.

Built in 1733 as servants' quarters, the building became the residence of librarian Gotthold Ephraim Lessing from 1777 until his death in 1781.

The museum contains exhibitions about Lessing's literary works, including Nathan der Weise, which he wrote at his desk inside this very building.

Located at coordinates 52.1636, 10.5301, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with reduced access for wheelchairs.

The study room maintains the exact desk placement where Lessing continued working after his wife Eva passed away in this house in 1778.
