Jünger-Haus Wilflingen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jünger-Haus Wilfingen (German for "Jünger's house in Wilflingen", a little village near Langenenslingen in Upper Swabia, a region in the German state Baden-Württemberg) was the last home of the German writer Ernst Jünger. After Jünger's death it was used as a memorial place for him. Now, after its restoration between 2010 and 2011 it is functioning as a museum. During the renovations, the items contained in the house were stored in the Center of Literary Museums in Marbach am Neckar.[1]

Memorial place and museum

The museum has the following sights:

  • Living room and office of the writer
  • Library
  • Collection of beetles
  • A room about the works of Jünger's brother, Friedrich Georg Jünger
  • A general exhibition

The museum contains about sixty thousand objects and over nine thousand books.[2] The house also contains diverse carpets and souvenirs which Jünger has brought from his voyages.
