Einstein House

Kramgasse 49, 3011 Bern, Switzerland

Paid

The Einstein House is located at No. 49 Kramstrasse in the Old Town of Bern, only 200 meters from the famous Bern Clock Tower. Einstein and his family rented this small suite from 1903-1905, and today you can get a glimpse of the great physicist here. The first floor of the apartment has been converted into a cafe and restaurant, and Einstein's former residence is just a turn up the stairs. In fact, the suite is very small, and the room is divided into two and a half rooms by a door. There is a desk in the second half of the smaller room, which is the original used by Einstein. On the wall in front of the desk is the famous mass-energy equation: E=mc². It was in 1905 that Einstein published four papers, including on the special theory of relativity, which was of epoch-making significance in the world of physics, so 1905 was also known as "Einstein's Miracle Year".
