Hegel House

The Hegelhaus at Eberhardstraße 53 in Stuttgart is the historic birthplace of the philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. The building dates back to the sixteenth century and today houses the Museum Hegel-Haus, a branch of the Stadtmuseum Stuttgart. Since 1991, the museum has been devoted to the life and work of the thinker, and its permanent exhibition was redesigned in 2020 after extensive renovations. Across three floors, you'll experience a multimedia room installation that uses projections and 3D technology to introduce you to Hegel's biography and the eighteenth century. The offerings are complemented by interactive stations, a small library, and original objects such as Hegel's famous beret and his album amicorum. A special highlight is an escape room on the third floor, where you have to put philosophical ideas into practice. The exhibition is available in three languages and is rounded out by a variety of educational programs, including group tours and playful children's philosophy events.
