Günter Grass House in Lübeck: now open again after modernization!
There is great excitement in Lübeck because the Günter Grass House has reopened its doors after four months of intensive modernization work. On June 16, 2025, numerous visitors streamed into the Literaturhaus to marvel at the first major change since it opened in 2002. The house, which presents the life and work of the famous writer and Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass, now offers a modern ambience that benefits both readers and art lovers.
Significant improvements were made during the closure period. In particular, the lighting system was completely overhauled and the fire protection was brought up to date. Instead of traditional incandescent lamps, energy-saving LED lamps now shine throughout the building. According to NDR, annual cost savings of several thousand euros could be achieved, which is not only easier on the wallet but also more environmentally friendly.
Extensive modernizations and savings
The extensive renovations also include conservation and scenic benefits designed to enhance the guest experience. “It was important to present Günter Grass’ legacy in a contemporary way,” emphasized a spokesman for the house. The first impressions on the opening day confirm this claim: visitors were enthusiastic about the new lighting atmosphere and the improved security.
To celebrate the reopening, the Günter Grass House is offering half the entry price until June 20th. This is a welcome opportunity to experience the important works of the artist, who died in 2015, such as “The Tin Drum” and “The Butt”, in a newly designed setting. The Literaturhaus, which plays a central role in German cultural history, remains an important place for readers and literature enthusiasts.
The reopening of the Günter Grass House is not only a celebration of culture, but also a sign of change and modernization in Lübeck. The investments that went into the infrastructure of the house not only take into account the requirements of today, but also preserve the valuable legacy of one of Germany's most important writers.
For all those who are interested in literature and art, the Günter Grass House is a must - especially now that a breath of fresh air is blowing after modernization. Take the opportunity to visit the newly designed house!
