Schillerhaus

The Schillerhaus is a residential building in Ludwigshafen that Schiller occupied in 1785 and appears from the outside like a classic farmhouse from the early 18th century. Inside, the rooms are furnished with historical pieces and show how the poet lived during that time.

The building was constructed as a farmhouse in 1717 and later attracted notable residents. Schiller arrived there in 1785 and stayed for only one year before leaving the city.

The house displays the domestic environment where Schiller lived, with furnishings and objects from his era. Visitors can see how a poet of the 18th century spent his daily life and where he created his works.

The best time to visit is during regular opening hours when a caretaker is present to show the rooms. It helps to call ahead or check online, as opening times may change seasonally.

During World War II, a bomb pierced through the roof into Schiller's former bedroom, but the bomb never detonated and remained lodged in the house. This unexpected event made the building an unusual testament to the wartime period.
