Discover how the Knoblauch family of Berlin merchants lived here around two hundred years ago in authentic surroundings and rooms furnished true to the original. The exhibition Everyday life in Biedermeier Berlin: Humboldt, Schinkel and the Knoblauch Family provides in-depth background information about the residents of the house, their famous guests and the era between the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the revolutionary events of 1848.
