Description

Albert Einstein lived in Bern from 1902 to 1909 and developed his Theory of Relativity here. The Einstein House gives visitors a chance to see where the great physicist completely revolutionized our understanding of space and time.
The Einstein House is located in the center of the Old City at Kramgasse 49, just some 200 meters from the Clock Tower (Zytglogge). It is open for the public.

Albert Einstein rented the flat from 1903 to 1905 and lived there with his wife Mileva and son Hans Albert. The second-floor residence features furnishings from that time period as well as photos and texts presented in a modern exhibition system.

The exhibition gives an impression of how Albert Einstein might have lived and in which environment he has developed his most important scientific work.

Furthermore, various publications, books and postcards are for sale.
