The house on the corner of Werlestraße/Graben in Heppenheim was built at the end of the 19th century . In 1916, the religious philosopher Martin Buber moved into it with his wife Paula, née Winkler, and their two children, Rafael (born 1900) and Eva (born 1901). The family lived here for four years as tenants before Buber purchased the house with its large walled garden. It housed, among other things, the philosopher's extensive library, in which works such as I and Thou" and the first part of his Bibleütranslation were produced.
