Balthasar-Neumann Haus

Balthasar-Neumann Haus is a cultural and meeting centre in Würzburg, connecting local life with the history of Egerland. The house brings German and Czech communities together. Discussions, cultural events and changing exhibitions fill the rooms with regional history and shared experience. Its setting reflects Würzburg’s role as a meeting point between Franconia, Bohemia and wider Central Europe.

The centre emerged from efforts by several organisations committed to preserving Egerland traditions and encouraging cross-border understanding. Balthasar Neumann links these regions through his life and work as an eighteenth-century architect and engineer. Regular Egerer Gespräche invite different speakers to explore historical education and the cultural significance of Egerland. Exhibitions add visual perspectives on the region’s people, traditions and difficult past. The house keeps cultural memory active while creating space for dialogue, cooperation and new partnerships.
