The Erika-Fuchs-Haus is a comic art museum in Schwarzenbach an der Saale that focuses on comics and translations across 600 square meters of exhibition space. The building displays interactive installations and presents characters from various comic series.
The museum opened in 2015 to honor Erika Fuchs, who spent four decades translating comics into German starting in the 1950s. Her work shaped how German readers encountered and understood international comic stories.
The museum features recreated spaces from comic stories, including a farm and workshop that visitors can explore. These rooms show how the stories became part of German popular culture through translation and daily reading.
The museum sits in a central location within the city and is easy to reach on foot, with parking available nearby. Plan to spend time with the interactive areas, as they reward careful exploration.
The museum actually receives mail addressed to fictional comic characters, giving these letters a second life. These messages come from readers across generations who want to blur the line between reality and imagination.
