House with an eventful history.

Herzogenberg discovered Heiden, then a famous health resort and meeting place for world celebrities, in 1891. He had the "Abendroth" house built in the spring of 1892 as a summer residence and retirement home for himself and Elisabeth. The early death of his wife - she died of heart failure shortly before moving in at the age of 44 - thwarted these plans. On the first anniversary of his death he wrote the poignant German requiem "Todtenfeier" for solos, choir and orchestra op. 80. The loss of his wife Elisabeth, who was also admired by Johannes Brahms, shaped the work of the 1990s, and there was an increased turn to church music.

In the summer months from 1892 to 1899 the composer stayed regularly in the "Abendroth" villa. It was here that the great late works were written, such as the two-hour oratorio "Die Erntefeier" op. 104, the cantata on the chorale "God is present" op. 106, the liturgical chants op. 81 and the Christmas oratorio "The Birth of Christ" op. 90.
