Description Destination
The Jean Paul Museum in the city of Bayreuth was completely redesigned on the occasion of the 250th birthday (21 March 2013) of the great Upper Franconian poet and reopened just in time for this anniversary.
Bayreuth owes the Jean-Paul-Museum to the generous donor Dr. Philipp Hausser, a descendant of Joseph and Rosa Schwabacher, the former landlord of Jean Paul in the house where he lived and died. From his youth, Hausser had assembled a considerable collection of Jean Paul's autographs, first editions of his works, literature from his circle, portraits and images.
This probably most important private collection on Jean Paul made it possible to open a museum for the poet in 1980 under the direction of its director Dr. Manfred Eger. The city was able to expand it significantly in 1994 and has since acquired further valuable manuscripts by Jean Paul as well as documents relating to his life and work.
In the Jean-Paul jubilee year of 2013, it was held to mark the 250th birthday of the poet, under the direction of Dr. Sven Friedrich, by Dr. Frank Piontek and the exhibition designer Florian Raff redesigned and redesigned.
The museum is housed in the former home of Richard Wagner's daughter Eva and her husband Houston Stewart Chamberlain, whose work in the "Bayreuth Circle" promoted the nationalist reception of Richard Wagner and whose problematic worldview and writings initiated the symbiosis with National Socialism.
Jean Paul was deliberately misunderstood by the Nazi ideology as a narrow-minded apologist for petty-bourgeois German inwardness and was abused for the propaganda purposes of the destroyers of culture and spirit. The fact that, after the spirit of Chamberlain, the humane spirit of Jean Paul has now found a home here appears as a symbolic rescue of his ideals, as a victory of the human over the inhuman.
