Welcome to the website of the Kleist-Museum!
Our museum is called like a famous writer:
Heinrich von Kleist.

He wrote many stories and theater plays.
Many people still read these stories today.
And his theater plays are often performed.

The permanent exhibition is entitled:
Puzzles. Conflicts. Fractures.

Frankfurt (Oder) is a city in the east of Germany.
It is next to the country Poland.
A river separates Frankfurt (Oder) from Poland.
This river is the Oder.
That is why the city is called: Frankfurt on the Oder.
Or in short: Frankfurt (Oder).

An audio guide is a device with sound recordings.
It is pronounced: au-di-o geit.

People with visual impairment feel the grooves with the blind stick.
They help them to orientate themselves.
