Lutherhof (Weimar)
The Lutherhof is a listed building at Weimarer Luthergasse 1.
History and use
The Lutherhof in Weimar is a mighty three-storey house at Luthergasse 1. First mentioned in 1491 as a free house standing on the wall. Its back faces Marstallstrasse. The name, already in use at the beginning of the 19th century, probably stems from the assumption that Martin Luther lived here during one of his stays in Weimar. However, this is not guaranteed. Christoph Martin Wieland lived in the Lutherhof from 1773 to 1777, after which it fell into disrepair. In 1821 Johannes Daniel Falk moved in with his pupils and restored them. Falk died here in 1826, and his institute was relocated to Falkstrasse in 1830. A memorial plaque from 1868 is located at the entrance to Marstallstrasse.
In addition to apartments, the Lutherhof now houses Weimar's smallest museum, the Johannes Falk Museum.
