Luise-Hensel-Gartenhaus in Paderborn

  • Permanently closed
  • Historic site
The Luise Hensel Garden House is the last of its kind in the city.
The garden house, built in 1747, is not only the last of its kind in the city, but is also closely associated with Luise Hensel (1798 - 1876), the poetess of the well-known evening song "Müde bin ich geh zur Ruh". Hensel spent the last years of her life in Paderborn's Westphalenhof, which today houses a retirement home. In the garden house, the poet enjoyed resting her mind and her work.
