Schiller's garden house
Schiller's garden house, Literary museum in Jena, Germany.
Schiller's garden house is a white wooden building in Jena where the poet lived and worked from 1797 to 1799. Today it houses original furnishings and personal items that document his daily life during those years.
Poet Friedrich Schiller rented the garden house as a retreat and created some of his most important literary works there. The period from 1797 to 1799 was a productive phase in his career that shaped German literature.
The rooms reveal how Schiller organized his daily surroundings and what objects mattered to him. You can see his writing desk, books, and letters that show his thoughts and working habits.
The building is easily accessible and open most days of the week, allowing visitors to explore the rooms independently or with a guide. It helps to check ahead if you prefer a guided tour, as these require prior arrangement.
The garden has been reconstructed following historical plans and still contains plants and herbs that Schiller himself selected. This makes the outdoor space a special record of his personal tastes.
