Schumann-Haus

The Schumann House at Inselstrasse 18 is the former home of Robert and Clara Schumann, who spent the first four years of their marriage here. Built in 1838 in the Neoclassical style, the strictly symmetrical building now houses a museum, a small concert hall, and the Clara Schumann Free Elementary School. In the renovated permanent exhibition, you can explore the life of the musical family, and in the historic hall, where luminaries such as Mendelssohn and Liszt once gathered, you can attend concerts or readings. The landmarked house, which was restored after a comprehensive renovation in 1999, is also a stop on the Leipzig Notenspur (Music Trail) walking route, combining musical history with a vibrant cultural scene.
