By end 2022 this new museum will be ready for visitors. It took far too long, but soon it can be visited. It will be in what the locals call Im Englaender. Einstein's grand mother and other family members lived in that house, and also used to be a pub called Koenig von England. Einstein' birth place, Bahnhof Str. 20 unfortunately was totally destroyed by allied bombs. I am certainly planning to visit the museum next year, so close to my home town. Stefan.
Albert Einstein in Caputh Slight juxtaposition here... re. his summer house in Caputh... EINSTEIN’S SUMMER HOUSE (2005) Address: Einstein House Am Waldrand 15-17 14548 Caputh / Germany The ownership structures are clear. The house now belongs to a community of heirs. The biggest part belongs to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. It is administrated and used by the Einstein Forum in Potsdam. Since May 26, 2005 Albert Einstein’s summer house in Caputh is available for the public again. The extensive reconstruction measures have been made possible through the support of the German Bund and the Cornelsen Culture Foundation. However, since it was Albert Einstein’s definite wish that his flat will not be used as a museum the house shall remain a place of cultural scientific and politic dialogue - also in the future. In addition to small workshops and cultural events it is planned to open up a room for scientific scholarship holders to allow them to do their interdisciplinary studies there. Furthermore the house will also be open for visitors on a limited scale. A visit of the summer house in Caputh as well as the participation in guided tours is only possible with advanced reservation.
