Willy-Brandt-Haus

In the location's words:

The Willy Brandt House Lübeck is the central place of contemporary history in the birthplace of the first Social Democratic Federal Chancellor and later Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Willy Brandt was passionately committed to democracy throughout his life, whether as a young Social Democrat, resistance fighter against the Nazi regime and political refugee or later as a leading politician in Berlin and Bonn. His visions for peace and freedom in Europe and the world continue to shape the Federal Republic of Germany today and inspire future generations. The permanent exhibition in the Willy Brandt House invites visitors on a fascinating tour through the 20th century and impressively conveys the stages of his political life.

The exhibition is multimedia-based and interactive, giving visitors the opportunity to engage intensively and critically with Brandt's life and the history of his time. As a place of learning about the history of democracy and human rights, the museum also offers a diverse program of special exhibitions, discussions, lectures, guided tours and workshops. A particular focus is on educational programs for school classes and teachers in the field of historical and political education.
