The Museum of Modern Literature by David Chipperfield, is located in Marbach, on a rock plateau overlooking the Neckar River valley. As the birthplace of Friedrich Schiller, the town’s park already held the Schiller National Museum, built in 1903, and the German Literature Archive, built in the 1970s. The Museum of Modern Literature is Germany’s primary literary archive, home not just to Schiller’s papers, but also a repository for everything from Franz Kafka’s manuscripts to the collective libraries of the country’s great writers. It displays artefacts from the extensive twentieth-century collection in the German Literature Archive, including the original manuscripts of Kafka’s The Trial and Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz.
