Welcome to the exhibition on "Einstein's Sommer-Idyll in Caputh"
about Albert Einstein's summer house in Caputh.
The permanent exhibition shows models, documents and photos from the life and
work of Albert Einstein during his time in Berlin and Caputh. In addition, you
will learn about the turbulent history of the Einstein House and about the
career of its famous architect, Konrad Wachsmann, who made an international
impact on the development of building styles in the 20th century.
You will find us on the first floor of the Bürgerhaus (community centre) in
Caputh, opposite the church and Caputh Palace. Please use the entrance at the
back of the house.
