house converted into a detailed educational museum with a research institute and library nearby.

Karl Marx was born in this 18th century house on May 5, 1818, to an old Jewish family from Trier (the historic heart of Ashkenazi country). Transformed into a museum in the years 1930-1931, it was requisitioned by the Nazis in 1933. They burned everything in it - that's why there is no furniture left from the Marx family - and set up the headquarters of their press organ, Nationalblatt. After 1945, the house was returned to the Social Democratic Party (SPD). It has now become an extremely detailed and didactic museum, worthy of Marxist rigor! Large documentary boards present the life and work of the thinker. A large part is dedicated to his friend Engels. The whole is interesting. Next door, there is a research institute and a library dedicated to Marxism.

A house " ordinaire" , often full of Chinese, who is only interest to people really fascinated by Karl Marx. Signs panels in the rooms, but nothing exceptional.
