The Brahms House (Brahms-Haus), also known as Lichtental No. 8, is a biographical museum dedicated to Johannes Brahms in Baden-Baden, Germany. The museum is centered on the building's attic, where Brahms lived and worked on his music while in residence.
History
Johannes Brahms lived seasonally in Lichtental No. 8 from 1865 to 1874,[1] originally because of a tip from Clara Schumann.[2] His first stay at the house lasted from May to October 1865.[3] While residing here, Brahms worked on his first and second symphonies, the piano quintet, second string sextet, the Alto Rhapsody, and parts of A German Requiem.[2][3]
By 1963, Lichtental No. 8 was in disrepair and was faced with demolition. To prevent this, the Brahms Society of Baden-Baden (Brahms Gesellschaft Baden-Baden) was formed in 1966 and began gathering donations. With those funds, the Society purchased the house in June 1967 and began renovating it.[4][5] The house was opened to the public as the Brahms-Haus Museum a year later.[4]
Museum
Brahms's summer-time residence in the attic of Lichtental No. 8 is the center of the museum documenting the composer's life.[2]
Every two years, the Baden-Baden Brahms Society organizes and hosts the Brahms Days in the city's concert halls.[1]
A studio apartment is made available to qualifying guest musicians selected by the museum staff.[5][6]
