The tour is boring. Slow and mostly uninteresting information that doesn't really fit the topic from time to time. During the tour you can have a calm, independent assessment of removing your make-up, as you don't seem to have permission to walk through the museum without a tour guide.

Describes the political situation after the November Revolution of 1918 impressively. A man of the people, who comes from modest circumstances, becomes president and has to prevail against adverse circumstances in order to create the transition from monarchy to democracy. Friedrich Ebert has worked his way up from a saddle journeyman to a state man. In the memorial you can visit the workshop and the cramped living conditions under which he grew up with several people in an apartment of 45 sqm.

You do not have to be a Social Democrat to take a liking to the modern exhibition and to have respect for Friedrich Ebert's performance. The visit is worthwhile, not only because the entrance is free. You can buy matching souvenirs and various brochures.
Incidentally, the grave of the first Reich President is not far away in the Bergfriedhof.

A frequently overlooked gem in Heidelberg's old town: Friedrich Ebert's small birthplace can be visited free of charge, and there is an interesting and well-made permanent exhibition on his life and the political developments at the beginning of the last century. There are also changing exhibitions, e.g. B. to the Warsaw Uprising and there are regular tours and lectures. You can stay here for a quarter of an hour or two hours and will not be disappointed!

The renegade of the German Revolution, the enemy of the German Communist Party, the former residence of Friedrich Ebert. Although the ideas of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht are more radical, the murderers who killed them will never be forgiven, and the Communists will nail Friedrich Ebert to the shame of history forever. .

An excellent free museum; signs in German but with English audio available. An excellent showcase of an overlooked period of history and an important figure in the creation of a modern German democracy.

Great museum if one is interested in the beginnings of the republic. The house also organizes interesting series of lectures on the topic of the house in a broader sense. Nice and competent staff and well-maintained premises.
