Schillerhaus
At the Schillerhaus in Leipzig, visitors explore the former country cottage where Friedrich Schiller lived in 1785 and wrote the first version of his famous poem 'An die Freude', as well as working on plays such as 'Don Carlos' and 'Fiesco'. The museum faithfully recreates an 18th-century Saxon interior and displays objects related to the poet's life and work, offering insight into both his personal struggles and his creative process. During the summer months, the garden known as the Schillergarten hosts theatre performances, concerts and readings in a rural setting.
