Schiller house

The Schiller house is a museum in Bauerbach dedicated to the period the poet Friedrich Schiller spent here. The building displays original artifacts, historical documents, and personal items from this chapter of his life.

Friedrich Schiller sought refuge in this house at the end of 1782 and remained there for about eight months to escape the Duke of Württemberg's strict control. This period was productive for the poet and shaped his later literary development.

The house displays manuscripts and first editions of works created during the poet's stay here. The rooms give a sense of how he worked and lived in this space.

The museum is open most days of the week and can be reached on foot from Bauerbach. Visitors should check opening times in advance, as these may vary depending on the season.

The building's traditional timber frame structure was fully uncovered only during 1967 renovation work. The facade was then restored based on 19th-century designs, offering an authentic view of how it appeared in that era.
