The Storm House in the Wasserreihe
The Storm museum in Husum is amongst the most renowned literature museums in the German-speaking region. In addition to the original living and working rooms, there is also a permanent exhibition on Theodor Storm’s life and work, as well as a room dedicated to his most famous novella, The Dykemaster. The garden laid out by the poet himself is particularly beautiful in summer.

The Town beside the Sea
Theodor Storm felt a lifelong connection to his hometown Husum. The cityscape exerted a peculiar charm on the poet. He turned houses that had belonged to his mother’s ancestors into the settings of novellas. As well as houses that he lived in himself.
“It is just a small ordinary town, my birthplace; it lies on a flat treeless coastal plain and its houses are old and grey. Yet I’ve always thought of it as a pleasent place.”
In St. Jürgen, 1868
