In the birthplace of Georg Trakl, the most famous poet from Salzburg (1887-1914), a research and memorial site has been established since 1973, which can be visited as part of guided tours. As an introduction to life and work, a new, highly acclaimed filmic Trakl portrait is shown, followed by manuscripts and personal documents, as well as furnishings from the family's former home. In 2016, the memorial was thoroughly renovated and adapted for museum education (tablets, listening stations).
There are worksheets for the creative handling of Trakl's poems. Upon special request, films about the poet or examples of musical settings of his poems can be shown. The archive contains editions of works, extensive secondary literature, translations and literature by the Trakl Prize winners. Annotated references to the poetry boards in the city are available.
