April 16, 1927 in the German town of Marktl am Inn, he was born. Joseph Aloysius Ratzinger, who after 78 years became the pope of the Catholic Church and took the name Benedict XVI. He stepped down from his post on February 28, 2013 and from then until his death on Saturday, December 31, he lived in Mater Ecclesiae, a monastery founded in 1994 by Pope John Paul II.
In the first years of his life, little Joseph Aloysius lived at number 11 on Marktplatz, located very close to the town hall and the market square, so his location is more than enviable.
The house, judging by what we have been able to see in various images posted on the Internet, is located on the corner and is not at all modest, distributed over two floors and has a kind of attic.
Despite its age, the house looks like it did on its best days. Its façade is white with cream details and the windows are made of wood.
Inside is a museum that exhibits various items that belonged to Benedict XVI, as well as various phrases that the former leader of the Catholic Church at some point uttered.
The museum is currently closed, but until a few months ago it was visited daily by people interested in learning more about its legacy. The entrance fee was 4 euros.
