MONTBLANC HAUS

EXHIBITION. EXPERIENCE. A HAVEN FOR WRITING AND INSPIRATION.

With the MONTBLANC HAUS, the Hamburg-based company has created a place that inspires writing. Discover the permanent exhibition INSPIRE WRITING, explore Montblanc’s history, and take a look behind the scenes of writing instrument production.

INSPIRE WRITING: The Permanent Exhibition
Located next to the company headquarters and the manufactory where Montblanc writing instruments are crafted, the INSPIRE WRITING exhibition tells the story of the startup that later became Montblanc. Discover original handwritten manuscripts by icons such as Frida Kahlo and Ernest Hemingway, and take a look behind the scenes of writing instrument production. Learn how the nibs are made and delve even deeper into the world of writing.

Experience a Day at the MONTBLANC HOUSE
At the MONTBLANC HOUSE, people of all ages are inspired to write: whether it’s a family outing, a calligraphy class in the Writing Atelier, or a visit to the world’s only Montblanc manufactory—there’s plenty to discover here. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the MONTBLANC HAUS features rotating special exhibitions that continually offer new perspectives on the written word. For children ages 6 to 12, there’s also a free quiz rally that lets them explore the exhibition in a fun, interactive way. The MONTBLANC HAUS boutique and the in-house Bistro 149 invite you to linger, even without an exhibition ticket.

On the first Thursday of every month, the MONTBLANC HAUS is open until 9:00 p.m. with a special program. Admission to the exhibition is free between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Brick walls create a rather rough atmosphere in Altona, while it is lively and colourful in Ottensen.

The main church at Klosterstern. Hauptkirche St. Nikolai am Klosterstern

The new building was erected from 1846 to 1874 in the neo-Gothic style to designs by the English architect Gilbert Scott and was destroyed by the bombings during the Second World War in 1943; the ruins were demolished in 1951.

Unlike the other principal churches, after the war the parish of St. Nikolai decided in 1956 against rebuilding the church on the Hopfenmarkt and instead dared a new beginning at the Klosterstern in Harvestehude, a densely populated district of the city. The new church on Klosterstern (Harvestehuder Weg 118) was built according to designs by Gerhard Langmaak and was dedicated in 1962.
Considered as both a special feature and attraction is the altar mosaic based on a design by Oskar Kokoschka, as well as the Coester window from 1939.
The former location of the main church of St. Nikolai with the 147-metre church tower – the third highest in Germany – is a ruin worth seeing on Hopfenmarkt and is considered a memorial and as a place for exhibitions and events.
