Nietzsche-Haus, Sils Maria

The Nietzsche-Haus is a house in Sils Maria in the Engadin region of Switzerland, where the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche lived during the summers of 1881 and from 1883 to 1888.

[1][2] Friedrich Nietzsche rented a modest room in the Durisch family's house in the heart of Sils Maria for seven summers (1881 and 1883–88).

[1] The museum contains five permanent exhibits, including a representation of the room Nietzsche rented from the Durischs, and a replica of his study in Basel.

[3] There is a room devoted to Oscar Levy, who oversaw the first translation of Nietzsche's works into English, and one about Sils' literary connexions.

The Nietzsche-Haus possesses a library open to researchers that contains one of the world's largest multi-language collections of books on the philosopher.
