Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Haus

[1] Ernst Moritz Arndt had the villa built from January 1819 at the latest[2] in a wine-growing area outside the city walls of the time.

The Arndt family moved into the house as early as October 1819, even before the interior work was completed the following February and the pink paint was finished in September 1820.

The building stands on a rectangular ground plan, consisting of two above-ground floors and a high hip roof.

God's peace and joy will move in with us[,] then happiness will be the gatekeeperSince 1989, the Bonn City Museum, founded in that year, has continued to use the villa for special exhibitions, concerts and readings.

On the ground floor, a room is furnished with furniture from the estate of Ernst Moritz Arndt; there are also several contemporary portraits of the poet.
