Karl Marx was Born Here

 

One of the smallest museums I hit in the recent past was the house where Karl Marx was born in Tier Germany. It is small but mighty interesting, under the Nazi’s it was confiscated from the SPD party. The re-inauguration was June 9th and the museum gets about 32,000 visitors a year, about a third of them are from China.

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point however, is to change it.

Karl Marx's House

His words changed the world yet he was somewhat a flop. He dragged his family through hell and loved the good life. He was Karl Marx and he was born in Trier, Germany. His birth house is a museum and heavily visited. The most devoted pilgrims to the museum are the people of China. It shows as the neighborhood is filled with Chinese restaurants and shops. Move over Mao.
