Karl Marx's House

His words changed the world yet he was somewhat a flop. He dragged his family through hell and loved the good life. He was Karl Marx and he was born in Trier, Germany. His birth house is a museum and heavily visited. The most devoted pilgrims to the museum are the people of China. It shows as the neighborhood is filled with Chinese restaurants and shops. Move over Mao.
