The yellow tower on the Neckar riverbank where Friedrich Holderlin, one of Germany's greatest poets, spent the last 36 years of his life in a state of gentle madness, cared for by a local carpenter's family. He continued to write poems during this period — short, luminous pieces quite different from his earlier work. The tower is now a small museum dedicated to his life and poetry. On the Bursagasse, right on the riverbank.
