15 months. It was not more time that Karl Marx spent in the baroque house on today's Brückenstrasse. But since he was born there on May 5th, 1818 at 2 a.m. in the alcove, the building naturally breathes the revolutionary scent of the big wide world. Trier's most famous son explored it not entirely voluntarily: From Germany to France to Belgium to Great Britain he traveled as a politically persecuted person who, as a journalist and writer, analyzed and denounced the prevailing conditions of the time. The permanent exhibition, completely revised in 2018 for Marx's 200th birthday, traces his life through Europe, examines his various roles, his working methods, his networks and his afterlife from the end of the 19th century to the present day. A special highlight: the reading chair made of dark wood and a yellow-beige fabric cover with flower ornaments, in which Marx allegedly died. And of course the pocket watch he owned.

The house where Karl Marx was born, built around 1727 as a baroque house, houses an exhibition that is devoted to the person, the social and capitalism critic of the 19th century and the effects of his ideas from a global perspective.

Often only a photo opportunity from the outside, but also the museum inside is worth seeing.
