The Gleimhaus is one of the oldest German literature museums, established in the year 1862 in the former residential building of the poet and collector Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719–1803) at the cathedral of Halberstadt. It houses Gleim's estate: Pictures, books and letters. Gleim, a genius of the friendship, was friendly with many of the most important writers of his time and assembled them in portraits on his walls. So he compiled the largest portrait gallery of tall spirits of 18. Century, his so-called „temple of friendship“. Lessing, Klopstock, Herder, Jean Paul, Anna Louisa Karsch, Elisa von der Recke and many others look at the visitor. The atmosphere of these rooms is unique. Besides that Gleim built up an extensive library and an important handwriting collection. Gleim's estate is a unique historico-cultural document of the age of the Enlightenment in this interplay of pictures, books and letters with his friendship culture.
