A literary stroll through Wilhelm Raabe's world

The Wilhelm Raabe Museum in the Raabe House: Literary Center Braunschweig opens its doors on many Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and invites you to a free permanent exhibition in a historic residential building. Here, literary history meets an authentic atmosphere: Original manuscripts, letters, drawings, and the preserved study provide a close picture of the writer Wilhelm Raabe.

Literature to touch

The place is more than a museum: The Raabe House is also a venue for events and exhibitions in the city of Braunschweig. Visitors experience an exhibition that makes Raabe's life and work palpable in the rooms of his last apartment rather than explaining it abstractly. Particularly impressive is the original preserved study with a private library, which brings the literary everyday life of the author to life.

A house with literary authority

Wilhelm Raabe is considered one of the significant realists of German literature. The Literary Center Braunschweig maintains this heritage and simultaneously organizes the Wilhelm Raabe Literary Prize, which is one of the significant literary awards in the German-speaking area. This blend of museum depth and current literary work characterizes the event experience on site. ([braunschweig.de](https://www.braunschweig.de/kultur/museen/raabe_haus.php?utm_source=openai))
