Facts and practical information

The Klopstock House of the Quedlinburg Municipal Museums is the birthplace of the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, one of the founders of classical German literature. In his time he was read more often than his contemporaries Goethe and Schiller. Today, the Klopstock House contains a literature museum, which provides information about Klopstock's life and work, but also about other Quedlinburg personalities. The house is listed in the Quedlinburg register of monuments. Attached to the museum are a library and an archive. The house at Schlossberg 13, which is also a listed building, adjoins directly to the east. At the western end of the garden is the pavilion of the Klopstock House.
