This modest 19th-century house in Heidelberg's old town is where Friedrich Ebert was born in 1871, the son of a saddler who would become the Weimar Republic's first democratically elected president. Original rooms, personal objects, and photographs trace how a working-class upbringing led to shaping modern German democracy, alongside a modern exhibition on the era's turbulence. Admission is free, with guided tours and audio guides available.
