The House Where Beethoven Was Born

The house located in the heart of ancient Bonn city is where the famous composer Beethoven used to live.
The house where Beethoven was born
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in 1770 at the small house No. 20, Bonngasse Street, Bonn, not far from the Rhein river. It is also a place to witness his maturity, music play and the process of composing many of his works.
The house built in the 18th century today is called the Beethoven Museum in Bonn (in German, Beethoven-Haus Bonn)

. It was a lovely small bungalow, alternating between red and green outside, and inside there were more than a dozen functional rooms. The baroque stone facade of the house is built on cellars dating back to the 12th or 13th centuries. The ground floor has a kitchen and a utility room The bedrooms are in the attic.

Since the mid-19th century, the house on Bonngasse 20 has undergone many changes. After the main door was significantly enlarged in 1836, a restaurant called "Beethoven's Geburtshaus" (Beethoven's Birthplace) opened on the ground floor in 1873. In 1888, a merchant took over the house, but sold it again in 1889.
The Bonn city government was not interested in buying the house, so in 1889, the Beethoven-Haus Association was established with the aim of buying and turning the house into a memorial for the composer. Most of the building remains as before The galleries in the Beethoven house are arranged in ordinal numbers from 1 to 12.




This place currently contains more than 150 documents, original texts related to the entire life of his writing, including when he lived in Bonn and Vienna. The museum was opened on May 10, 1893 during the second Chamber Music Festival.

In addition to the continuous renovation, the first major restoration work carried out in the mid-1930s included the house next to “Im Mohren”, which houses the Beethoven Archives. In the late 1960s, the house underwent a second and third major restoration that took place between 1994 and 1996. Today, the museum is spread out over both houses.




The house displays many souvenirs associated with the composer Beethoven such as records of music he composed, autographs, musical instruments, figurines, pictures of him.
