Birth house of Benedict XVI, Birth house in Marktl, Germany
The two-story Bavarian building features traditional architecture with a white facade and green shutters located at the central market square of Marktl.
Built after the market fire of 1701, the structure initially served as a customs and judge house until 1765 before becoming the birthplace of Joseph Ratzinger in 1927.
The foundation within the birth house presents exhibitions about theological positions and biographical stations of Pope Benedict XVI through documents and photographs.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages and contains educational resources about Pope Benedict XVI's life, with extended visiting hours during summer months.
The house includes the original baptismal font where Joseph Ratzinger received his first sacrament on the same day as his birth, April 16, 1927.
