Friedrich von Hardenberg, known as Novalis, lived in the house at Klosterstraße 24 with his family from the age of 13 until his early death at the age of 28.
He went down in literary history as the most important German poet of the early Romantic period.
Among the most important works by Novalis are the "Hymns to the Night" and the fragment "Heinrich von Ofterdingen", which is well-known for its symbolic figure, the "Blue Flower".

In the exhibition in the former residence and death house of Novalis, the person of Friedrich von Hardenberg is presented in its entirety.
In addition to the baroque residential building, the so-called "Novalis Pavilion", which is located in the adjacent garden, has also been preserved. The historic pavilion is used for readings and lectures, is open to visitors who are interested and can also be booked for civil weddings.

Not far from this memorial is the current city park, where the poet found his final resting place. The idyllic "Poet's Corner" with a memorial stone and a bust of Novalis are reminiscent of him and his legacy.
