Marbach am Neckar is known as "Schillerstadt". Friedrich Schiller, the famous German poet, was born 1759 in the house above.
Schiller wasn't the only famous son of this town. Tobias Mayer's birth house also still stands, and has been lovingly restored.
Walking up and down the hills in the Altstadt is fun. I had forgotten how pretty Marbach is. Well worth a visit.
