Summary/Abstract: In his work about heterotopias Foucault defined museums and libraries as heterochronic places, where the information is kept by manipulating the time. In this study, the novel "Das Haus", in which the memoirs are placed into a house, has been examined from a point of view centered on space and memory. In this work the concepts of "Heterotopia" and "Heteroconic" of Foucault was placed in the center. By supporting these concepts with different space and memory studies the house in the novel can be described as a place where the memories are archived. In this context, house as a heterotopia shows a heterochronic characteristic, because metaphorically it represents a museum, where constitutes the archive of Andreas’ childhood memories.
