Bach House Eisenach

If you are in Eisenach, you should not miss the Bachhaus. The demonstration of the old instruments is particularly interesting!

Johann Sebastian Bach comes from the Lutheran Bach family, which is widespread in central Germany. The vast majority of his paternal ancestors and relatives, who can be traced back to the 16th century, were cantors, organists, town pipers, members of court bands or instrument makers (clavichord, harpsichord, lute) between Werra and Saale. The Bach family tree can be traced back to his great-great-grandfather Veit Bach, who left Hungary or Moravia as a Protestant religious refugee and settled as a baker in Wechmar near Gotha, the home of his ancestors. Born: March 31, 1685, Eisenach Died: July 28, 1750, Leipzig Source: Wikipedia

The building inside shows, among other things, how people used to live. I was impressed by the sloping floor. There is a small garden in the yard. There is also a small exhibition of musical instruments. We could also experience that the instruments were played. On request, where you can also play Tocata by Bach.
