Einstein’s idyllic summer resort

Initiativkreis Albert-Einstein-Haus Caputh e. V. took on the task of caring for the intellectual legacy of the Nobel Prize winner and his architect. In addition to special projects with lecture events, films, readings and conferences, the association also offers an exhibition at Caputh community centre with numerous models, documents and photographs.
