Einsteinhaus
The Einsteinhaus is the former residence of Albert Einstein, located on Kramgasse in Bern. He lived here with his family between 1903 and 1905. Visitors go to this site because it is where Einstein developed the theory of relativity and wrote several foundational papers in physics. The museum preserves the living environment of that period and provides historical context regarding his scientific work.
