Express tour “Kleist and Love”

Best-of tour through the permanent exhibition “Riddles. Struggles. Ruptures.” (approx. 30 min)

Thirty-four letters written by Heinrich von Kleist to his fiancée Wilhelmine von Zenge have survived. What can we learn from them? How did Kleist and Zenge relate to each other, and how did the engagement ultimately end?

An event of the Kleist Festival 2026.
