Well, actually more like Helene Weigel’s place. And the guest house, if I understood that right. It was built as a sculptor’s studio, which explains the huge glass front. The room behind it was very impressive but a bit too dark for my little box camera.
There was a quote in the museum somewhere that I liked, it was about a different house but it went something like this:
“When I visited Brecht, he had a table, a chair, a guitar, and he recently got himself a hammer.”
They also had pictures that showed that Helene Weigel later added a Wartburg 353, and possibly some other things too.
Camera nerd stuff: Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor of roughly appropriate vintage (1930s), on Lomo Color 400 film.
