Buddenbrooks in the Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus

In the organizer's words:

The Buddenbrookhaus closes its doors in 2020 for the comprehensive renovation of the house and its exhibition

The Buddenbrooks are using this as an opportunity to present themselves for a few years in Lübeck's Behnhaus city palace. There could hardly be a more befitting location for the literary residents: the Museum Behnhaus vividly conveys a feeling for the world of the Buddenbrooks and the Lübeck merchants from whom Heinrich and Thomas Mann came. In the exhibition "Buddenbrooks in the Behnhaus", Tony Buddenbrook personally talks about their famous creator Thomas Mann and his brother Heinrich. Follow the Mann brothers into their childhood as Lübeck senators' sons. And let Tony tell you how Heinrich and Thomas Mann rebelled against the stuffy bourgeois world of their origins. In the historic living rooms of the Behnhaus, the Lübeck novels Buddenbrooks and Professor Unrat come to life. Both books caused a scandal in Lübeck, but made the Hanseatic city and its writing sons Heinrich and Thomas Mann world-famous. Accompany the Mann brothers and their works in the stylish atmosphere of the 19th century.

You will find the Buddenbrook family and their inventor Thomas Mann and his brother Heinrich in the Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus, Königstraße 9-11, Lübeck.
