Klopstockhaus Quedlinburg, Literature museum and birthplace in Quedlinburg, Germany
The Klopstockhaus is a half-timbered residence from the 16th century in Quedlinburg with rooms dedicated to German literary history. The exhibition spaces display manuscripts, letters, and personal objects spanning different periods of German literature.
The building was constructed in 1560 and entered the Klopstock family in 1702. Poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock was born here in 1724 and became a major figure in 18th century German literature.
The house was home to poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock and displays objects from his life and work. Visitors see handwritten texts and personal items that reflect his role in shaping German literary tradition.
The building sits in Quedlinburg's town center and is easily accessible on foot. It is compact in size, allowing visitors to see all exhibition spaces within 1 to 2 hours.
The house is also known for Dorothea Christiane Erxleben, who studied there and became Germany's first female physician. This rare connection between literary and medical history makes the place unexpectedly rich in stories.
