The first schoolhouse in the municipality of Hirzel was built in 1660. Johanna Louise Heusser (Johanna Spyri) and her siblings attended school there. In 1981, the municipality of Hirzel set up a museum in memory of its famous citizen.

As soon as you get out of the Postbus or car at the parking lot near the Reformed Church, you are at home with Johanna Spyri. She spent her youth in the Doktorhaus on the hill and, as Hanneli Heusser, attended the village school in the red timber-framed house below the church.

In the exhibition, the nature, work and life of Johanna Spyri can be experienced at the original location. Original objects and reproductions of letters and manuscripts are on display.

Visitors are also invited to browse through Johanna Spyri's books or immerse themselves acoustically in the author's life at the audio stations.
