... Nice view of a charming yellow house built in the late 18th century situated on the Neckar river... this landmark of the city was once the home of the famous poet Friedrich Hölderlin... the three-story house has been turned into a museum honouring the life and work of the poet... he live here from 1807 until his death in 1843... this connection to the poet makes the tower a place of interest for literature enthusiasts and those interested in Hölderlin's life and works... yet his works and reputation are not widely known outside Germany... with lovely "dog" stamp and great first day postmark... Thanks Dustin!【ツ】

His work stands between Classicism and Romanticism.The poetry of Hölderlin, widely recognized today as one of the highest points of German literature, was little known or understood during his lifetime, and slipped into obscurity shortly after his death.
