Hölderlinturm, Medieval tower on Neckar River bank in Tübingen, Germany.
The Hölderlinturm stands as a yellow stone structure with multiple floors, featuring distinctive windows overlooking the Neckar River and surrounding city landscape.
Built upon foundations from the 13th century city wall, the tower gained its current name from poet Friedrich Hölderlin, who lived there from 1807 until 1843.
The tower now functions as a museum dedicated to Friedrich Hölderlin, displaying manuscripts, personal items, and information about his contributions to German poetry.
Visitors can access the museum Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 16:00, with weekend hours from 13:00 to 16:00.
During his residence, Hölderlin wrote poetry under the name Scardanelli, receiving visitors who sought his autographs despite his mental health condition.
