Theodor-Storm-Haus


Even if you’re not familiar with the 19-century author Theodor Storm, his tidy wooden house will whet your appetite. Well-placed biographical titbits fill in the life of this novelist, poet and proud Schleswig-Holstein citizen in the small, intimate rooms where he lived and wrote works such as his seminal North Frisian novella Der Schimmelreiter (The Rider on the White Horse).
