Einstein House is the second-floor apartment at Kramgasse 49 where Albert Einstein lived from 1903 to 1905. It was here that the 26-year-old patent clerk developed his theory of special relativity and published four groundbreaking papers in the 'Annus Mirabilis' of 1905.
Einstein arrived in Bern in 1902 to work as a technical expert at the Swiss Federal Patent Office. Living with his wife Mileva Marić and their son Hans Albert, he used his evenings and weekends to pursue his theoretical work. In 1905, he published papers on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and mass-energy equivalence (E = mc²). The apartment was opened as a museum in 1979.
