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 Erxleben room was set up in 1965 for the 250th birthday of Dorothea Christiane Erxleben, Germany's first female physician. It is one of several rooms in the house devoted to notable Quedlinburg figures beyond Klopstock. During World War II the collection was moved to the Altenburg caves outside town, and Klopstock's signet ring was lost on its return.
