The Beethoven-Haus Bonn & Partners

The Beethoven-Haus Bonn association, founded in 1889, is the leading Beethoven centre. It strives to preserve Beethoven‘s work and heritage. The Beethoven-Haus owns the world‘s most significant Beethoven collection, a museum at Beethoven‘s birthplace that attracts over 100,000  visitors each year, a musicology research department with its own library and publishing house as well as a chamber music hall named after Hermann J. Abs where numerous events take place throughout the year. Thanks to the engagement and support from about 900 friends, patrons and members of over 20 nationalities as well as from the German government, the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Bonn, the association carries out various cultural tasks of national and international importance. Professor Tabea Zimmermann, the internationally acclaimed viola player, chamber musician and instructor, serves as president.

In 2016, in cooperation with the public sector, the Beethoven-Haus Bonn founded the Beethoven Jubiläums Gesellschaft, a non-profit institution, to coordinate and promote the Beethoven anniversary project BTHVN2020.

As a group headquartered in Bonn – the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven – the Deutsche Post DHL Group has been involved in outstanding projects and institutions dedicated to the legacy of Ludwig van Beethoven for many years.
