The Thomas Mann Archive commemorates the writer Thomas Mann (1875-1955). Among other things, it shows his study. His working environment was very important to Thomas Mann. This included the library and the author's desk. The desk in particular illustrates the writer's exile, which ultimately also took him to Switzerland. Also in the study is Thomas Mann's private library, which, like the desk, went through adventurous times in exile. Much of it was lost through expropriation, others were left behind in the course of the various moves. The private library contains valuable dedication copies and is of great scholarly importance for the genesis of Thomas Mann's works due to its selection, notes and annotations. In addition, the other furniture and pictures, such as Ludwig von Hofmann's beloved "Quelle", as well as the many objects on the desk and shelves complete the world of Thomas Mann's study. The archive holdings include manuscripts left by the author, collections of material relating to his work, diaries and notebooks, correspondence and extensive press documentation.
