Kepler Museum
document Kepler (Keplergedächtnishaus)
The house where astronomer Johannes Kepler died in Regensburg in 1630. It is now a small memorial museum displaying his life story and replicas of astronomical instruments.
Kepler lived in Regensburg several times in his later years, and he died here in 1630 while seeking payment of his salary. The house has a modest display covering Kepler's three laws of planetary motion and the scientific context of the 17th century, with replicas of books, instruments, and furniture. Opening hours are limited, mostly on weekends, so check in advance. It is on Keplerstrasse, about a three-minute walk from the Stone Bridge.
