Deutsches Romantik-Museum

The Deutsches Romantik-Museum is a literature museum in Frankfurt's Old Town devoted to the art and literature of German Romanticism. Its collections include original manuscripts, paintings, and personal objects that document the creative work of this artistic period.

The institution grew from collections gathered starting in the 1860s when the Freies Deutsches Hochstift was founded. This project focused on preserving the works and ideas of the Romantic movement for future generations.

The museum displays works that reflect the feelings and dreams of Romantic artists, from dark landscapes to delicate love poems. Visitors can see how these creators expressed their inner world and influenced all of Europe through their vision.

The museum is located in the center of the Old Town neighborhood and is easily reached on foot, with good signage in the streets. It is advisable to check opening times before a visit, as these can vary depending on the season.

Inside, a special staircase called Himmelstreppe connects the different exhibition levels while protecting the rooms from natural daylight. This architectural solution shapes the experience of moving through the collections.
