The house is the birthplace of the still relevant translation of the "Odyssey" by the poet Johann Heinrich Voß (1751–1826).
The former Rekorhaus, where Johann Heinrich Voß lived with his family from 1778 to 1782, was opened to the public in 1999 after extensive restoration work. An exhibition shows Johann Heinrich Voß as a poet, editor and translator, a controversial publicist, friend and private person. An audio and a multimedia station provide insights into the life and work of Voß.
