        Built in 1717 as the main house (Wohnstallhaus) of a typical small farm Dreiseithofs in the former village Gohlis (today Menckestraße). In the first single-storey building of clay in Pisé-style (rammed earth), in the attic with stud walls and clay pockets, is the living part with "large" and "small" parlor, the hallway with back separated, possibly "black kitchen" and after the garden side stable.
        2nd half of the 18th century In order to create accommodation for summer guests, the stable section in Stube and Kammer (Quartier Göschen) will be rebuilt and the eastern part of the building will be expanded to provide another room with a sleeping room (Schiller quarter). The painting of the rooms corresponds to early classicist design patterns of urban burgher houses.
        1785 - The 25-year-old poet Friedrich Schiller, known throughout Germany for his play "Die Räuber", is invited to Leipzig by a circle of friends around the lawyer Christian Gottfried Körner (1756-1831). He lives in this house from early May to September 11 as a creative summer guest.
        The publisher Georg Joachim Göschen (1758-1828) gave him the quarters. Schiller writes here the ode "An der Freude", which is already distributed in copies before the printing and is known worldwide through the final choir in Ludwig van Beethoven's (1770-1827) Symphony No. 9. He also works on "Don Carlos".
        1841 rediscovery of the Schillerhaus on the initiative of Robert Blum, Leipzig theater secretary and one of the pioneers of the German Revolution of 1848/49.
        On November 11, 1841, the solemn revelation of the newly built Ehrenpforte with the plaque "Here dwelt Schiller and wrote the song to the joy in 1785."
        1856 threaten demolition and auction of the house. In August, the Schiller Association calls for a fundraising campaign to enable the purchase of the house. The purchase price of 2150 thalers will be paid by a member of the Management Board.
        1856-58 demolition of the Ehrenpforte and attachment of the plaque at the Schillerhaus. Decisive structural changes of the peasant yard by the Schiller Association. Demolition of the wooden barn and the gate system with picket fence. Towards the street, the complex receives a new fence with forged fence after urban models. Establishment of the Schillerhaus as a memorial.
        1864 Registration of the one year old debt-free house in the land register of Gohlis in the name of the Schiller Association. According to the statutes, the house becomes the property of the City of Leipzig if the association is dissolved, if the latter is obliged to keep it as a memorial.
        1896/97 Greater structural repair.
        1911 Extensive redesign of the house and the exhibition. The terrain behind the road is sloping, which makes the Schillerhaus look and feel better. Reconstruction of the Ehrenpforte by the architect Max Langheinrich after old views.
        1939-34 The alarming state of construction of the Schillerhaus necessitates extensive repair work financed by municipal and donated funds.
        On the 4th of december
        In 1943, a staff firebomb smashes through the roof and gets stuck in the floor of Schiller's sleeping chamber. It can be removed. Outsourcing valuable exhibits to the Wurzener Dom; they are sometimes considered a loss of war.
        1949 Dissolution of the Schiller Association by order of the state government of Saxony. The Schillerhaus is subordinated to the Kulturbund. On 11 July registration of the city of Leipzig as owner in the land register (sheet 3059).
        1966-69 Repair of the Kastellanhaus (outbuildings), redesign of the courtyard and garden. The veneer of the Schillerhaus and ancillary buildings considerably affects the historical appearance.
        1985-89 During the restoration (roof replacement, replacement or addition of damaged areas in the roof truss and the truss structure, repairs in the clay outer walls partly with bricks, new exterior plaster) historic Pustzstruktur and coloristic design are irretrievably eliminated and destroyed inside the historical proof of evidence for the most part
        1995 closure due to collapse danger.
        1997/98 Extensive archaeological and restoration studies from June 1997 and on-site until June 1998.
        From June 25, 1997 to September 14, 1998, the first comprehensive preservation and restoration in the history of the house, made possible by state heritage funding by the regional council of Leipzig, municipal and donations funds from companies, associations, institutions and individuals.
