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.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Altona & Ottensen

For strolling, having a coffee, taking a walk or having some delicious food – situated directly at the Elbe and traversed by parks, Altona & Ottensen are considered to be charming and diverse districts with character. Brick walls create a rather rough atmosphere in Altona, while it is lively and colourful in Ottensen.

Hauptkirche St. Petri

It was probably founded at the beginning of the 11th century, but it was first documented in 1195 as a "market church". In around 1310/20, the construction of a triple naved, Gothic basilica was begun. With the construction of a second southern nave around 1418, the essential extension works had been completed.

A second tower completed in 1516 was even higher than the cathedral, and it set the standard for all later church tower constructions in Hamburg. In 1842 the church suffered from the Great Fire; luckily, most of the works of art could be saved. The medieval structure was re-dedicated as early as 1849, but with many alterations to the church building.
