About the Nietzsche Archive
In the villa »Silberblick«, the ill Friedrich Nietzsche, cared for by his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, spent the last years of his life. After his death, she had the building, especially the archive rooms, redesigned by Henry van de Velde: The interior design and furnishings are among the most successful creations of the Belgian architect and designer.
Today, the Friedrich Nietzsche College is located in the historical Nietzsche Archive. Founded in 1999, the college sees itself, in the spirit of its namesake, as a place of independent and stubborn reflection, as a place of philosophical contemplation and the examination of the modern world. Based on Nietzsche's idea of a place for »free spirits«, the College has set itself the goal of reflecting on contemporary philosophical questions in an open intellectual debate between philosophers, scientists, artists and writers.
