Hegelhaus is the house in which philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was born in 1770 and lived for the following 18 years. Part of the exhibition charts the life and work of Hegel, from his years in Stuttgart through to his death in Berlin in 1831, setting the biographical details in a historical context to significant events of the time. Another part of the exhibition is entitled 'Stuttgart at the Time of Hegel' which provides a historical record of late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century Stuttgart.
