Hello and welcome to the Fritz Reuter Literature Museum...
Or, as we would say in Low German: Hartlich willkamen in't Fritz-Reuter-Literaturmuseum.
Fritz Reuter, who appears in the shape of a bust right here in the building's foyer, is probably Stavenhagen's most famous son...
... and one of the most important Low German authors. Born in this house in 1810, he was considered Germany's most successful writer in his final years.
And that despite the fact that he wrote almost exclusively in Low German – a language spoken throughout northern Germany at the time. Plattdeutsch, or Low German, isn't some quaint accent, but a real language that has since been included in the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages.
