Abstract:
From 1929 until his emigration to the United States, Albert Einstein spent the summer months in a wooden summer house in the village of Caputh, just outside of Berlin. There he held a guestbook, given to him by a neighbor, which was signed by many of his visitors. On page 2, Einstein encouraged his visitors to sign the guestbook in verse, putting his demand into a humorous little poem under the title “Decree” - “Verordnung”, signed by “the landlord” – “der Hausherr”. In the fall of 1931, the artist Hermann Struck illustrated the top of page 4; it then was signed, among others, by Chaim Weizmann, visiting from London.
