Berlin, Germany, Apr 17, 2009 / 10:31 am 
(<http://www.catholicnewsagency.com>CNA).- In order to mark Pope 
Benedict XVI's 82nd birthday, which he celebrated on Thursday, a 
special exhibit was inaugurated at the home where the Pontiff was 
born in Marktl am Inn, Germany.

Entitled, "Where I Am Truly At Home: The Homeland and Pope Benedict 
XVI," the exhibit centers on the domestic aspects of the life of 
Joseph Ratzinger and on his concept of "homeland" as the land that 
inspires and gives identity.

The childhood home of the Holy Father was bought by a private 
foundation soon after the Pontiff was elected. The exhibit includes 
documents and objects that belonged to both Joseph and his older 
brother, Monsignor Georg Ratzinger.

Residents of the town who remember growing up with the Pope share 
their stories and memories of those days as well.
