Beethoven’s birthplace in Bonn

© Photo Archive Schilder
Bonn on the Rhine, Bonngasse 20.

It is a living place of memories, not a museum-like accumulation of autographs, personal objects and similar trifles. This is where the composer’s elder brother (Ludwig Maria van Beethoven) died shortly after his baptism in 1769; a second son, however, was born to the couple before Christmas 1770, and he also got the name Ludwig and was baptised on Dec.17th,1770. This child was to transform the musical world with a new musical language - starting from Vienna.
