Brecht-Weigel-Gedenkstätte

(Brecht-Weigel memorial Centre) The last living and working quarters of Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel.

A rare chance to see Brecht's vast library of books - in several different languages - as well as the room in which he wrote many of his plays and much of his poetry. His typewriter still sits at a desk overlooking the cemetery where he, and later, his wife were buried.

Inexpensive to visit, the museum is however also a Brecht study centre, and admits only a small number of visitors at a time and only at certain times of the day. Check local press for details. Guides speak a number of languages, and are unfailingly helpful and highly knowledgable.

The cemetery is also open to visitors; check the map near the entrance to find Brecht's grave.
