Visiting the Hölderlin House

Enjoy an informative Saturday afternoon in the historically modern ambiance of the Hölderlin House in Lauffen. Almost exactly 255 years ago, the later poet Friedrich Hölderlin was born in Lauffen. He spent the first four years of his life in the house located at today's Nordheimer Str. 5. Hölderlin's grandfather purchased this house in 1743 and then converted it into a representative residence with baroque elements - dignified and appropriate for a ducal monastery steward. Tour guide Klaus Koch will present this house in its renovated state. The subsequent lecture will focus on the 18-year-long education of Friedrich Hölderlin - starting as a student at the Latin school in Nürtingen (1775), through the monastery schools in Denkendorf and Maulbronn, to the completion of his theology studies (1793) in Tübingen. Enjoy an informative Friday afternoon in the historically modern ambiance. During the lecture, coffee and cake will be available for self-payment.
