The main scene of action in Thomas Mann's Nobel prize winning novel Buddenbrooks is Lübeck. Although the name of the "mediocre trading center on the Baltic Sea" is never mentioned in the novel, there is not one street, square or place in this novel's city that does not allow itself to be identified in Lübeck. The house at Mengstraße 4 is at the heart of this novel. As visitors walk through the rooms where the Mann family lived in the middle of the 19th century, they simultaneously walk through rooms so lovingly described by Thomas Mann in his novel: opposite St. Mary's Church in a "landscape room" and a "dining room" with white figures of gods and goddesses. There are two permanent exhibitions: "The Manns - A literary family" and "Buddenbrooks - Novel of the Century."
