Fodor's Expert Review Hölderlinturm
Tübingen
Historical
Friedrich Hölderlin, a visionary poet who succumbed to madness in his early thirties, lived here for 36 years until his death in 1843, in the care of the master cabinetmaker Zimmer and his daughter. There's a small literary museum and art gallery inside, and a schedule of events includes concerts and poetry readings. An audio guide in English translates the exhibit information, including in the charming riverfront garden.
