KomponistenQuartier Hamburg

The KomponistenQuartier in Hamburg's Neustadt district is a privately run museum ensemble housed in historically reconstructed townhouses on Peterstrasse. It brings together several museums devoted to the lives of important composers who were connected to Hamburg and shaped European music history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Here you can explore not only the life stories of artists such as Brahms, Telemann, and the Mendelssohn siblings, but also the historical context of the musical life of their day. The collections include original instruments such as a square piano, a clavichord, and a spinet, as well as a model of a Baroque opera stage. Together, the museums offer a vivid glimpse into the history of the city and the era.
