Kurt Tucholsky

Kurt Tucholsky was one of the most important writers and journalists of the Weimar Republic. The writer’s personal possessions, letters, manuscripts, program brochures, periodicals, documents, photos, and books convey authentic impressions and provide insight into the author’s characteristics. A writer’s most important and probably most intimate piece of furniture is his desk. It symbolizes Kurt Tucholsky’s oeuvre, which encompasses ten books and more than three thousand pieces of writing.

Kurt Tucholsky, the cheerful, chatty ironist of “Rheinsberg: A Storybook for Lovers” (1912), developed after World War I into a prominent socially critical author of the Weimar Republic: storyteller, poet, satirist, and pacifist journalist.

Guiding principle of the museum

At the center of our work is collecting, preserving, researching, and presenting materials on the life and work of Kurt Tucholsky.
In accordance with our social task, we work actively with Tucholsky as a model for the spirit of tolerance and understanding.
By focusing on Kurt Tucholsky and the literary publications of the Weimar Republic, we place ourselves in the Enlightenment and democratic tradition that addresses the intellectual standards and everyday problems of modern humanity. The guideline of our activity is always the international ICOM code of ethnics for museums.
