In the last weeks of Beethoven's life this travel desk was placed right next to his bed. Three days before he died, he wrote a codicil to his will at the desk, in which he named his nephew Karl as his sole heir. Beethoven probably kept his letter to the "Immortal Beloved" in the open compartment shown here.
