Museum of Literature in Marbach
There could hardly be a more ideal location for a museum of literature than Marbach. This tranquil little city on the River Neckar has long enjoyed a reputation as a literary centre. Friedrich Schiller was born there in 1759; and in 1903, his followers erected a national museum in his honour on a hill on the outskirts of the city. Over the years, this establishment has developed into a national institution: the German Archive of Literature, which has made its presence felt since 1973 in the form of its own library and administration building.
