Hölderlinturm
The Hölderlinturm (English: Hölderlin Tower) is a building located in Tübingen, Germany that served as the place of residence and death in the final years of poet Friedrich Hölderlin. He lived there from May 3, 1807 until his death in 1843. The building is located on the Neckar riverfront and is one of the most popularly known sites in Tübingen.
History.
The construction of the building traces back to the 13th century. The stone foundation originates from the medieval city wall that originally ran along the
Zimmer (a cultured man, who had read "Hyperion") and given a room in his house in Tübingen, which had been a tower in the old city wall with a view across the Neckar river. The tower would later be named the Hölderlinturm, after the poet's 36-year-long stay in the room. His residence in the building made up the second half of his life and is also referred to as the "Turmzeit" (or "Tower period").
