Bach House (Köthen)

The composer Johann Sebastian Bach lived at two addresses during his stay in Köthen, Germany, while he was working for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen.

The first of these properties has been demolished, so Bach House (German: Bachhaus Köthen) normally refers to the extant building which the composer occupied in the period 1719–23.

This property is on Wallstraße (Wall Street) and was completed in 1719: Bach is assumed to have been the first tenant of the house.

[1] Documentary evidence of the allowances paid to Bach suggests that the house was also used by the court orchestra.
