The house at Heynstraße 8 was built by the Pankow chair tube manufacturer Fritz Heyn in 1893. The Heyn family inhabited the Beletage (1st floor) until 1972. Two of Heyn's daughters had last lived in the almost unchanged apartment.
Today, this is a special location of the Museum Pankow: the bourgeois representative rooms have been partly preserved in their original architectural features (stucco, painting, etc.) and furnishings, and the annotated history of the house and its inhabitants can be viewed. The apartment also includes a typical "Berlin room", a bathroom with a tiled tub and a kitchen. Other design elements of the monument ensemble, such as the staircase, front garden, courtyard and gardens, are accessible.
Special exhibitions, educational programs and thematic events complement the range of visitors at this museum location. A revision of the exhibition concept, which critically questions the contents and objects shown so far, is being planned.

Main Location: Prenzlauer Allee 227
