Description

Schloss Maxen, in the nearby village of Maxen [de], was the home of Friedrich Anton Serre (1789–1863), a retired major, and his wife. They were friends of Clara's father Friedrich Wieck.[1] When Clara stayed with the Serres, she used to visit a famous centuries-old linden tree, known as the Schmorsdorfer Linde [de].[2]

The museum, built next to the tree, was opened in May 2006. Its area is 6.5 square metres (70 sq ft). There are displays about linden trees and in particular the Schmorsdorfer Linde; and about Schloss Maxen and Clara Schumann's relation with the village.[2][3]
