Gleimhaus

The Gleimhaus – Museum der deutschen Aufklärung (Gleim House – Museum of the German Enlightenment), in Halberstadt, is one of the oldest literary museums in Germany. It was built in 1862 in the former home of the poet and collector Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719–1803). The half-timbered house lies behind the choir of the gothic cathedral to Halberstadt. The collections of the Gleimhaus go back to Gleim's estate.
