Hölderlin was forcibly admitted by his family to the clinic of physician Johann Autenrieth on September 15, 1806. The 34-year-old master carpenter Ernst Friedrich Zimmer acquired the property in 1807. Hölderlin was released on May 3, 1807, around the same time as Zimmer's purchase, with a prognosis of incurable illness and three years to live ("höchstens noch drei Jahre").Anja ThüerForgotten History/ref> Autenrieth, meanwhile, had enco ...

Punt (boat)
A punt is a flat-bottomed boat with a square-cut bow, designed for use in small rivers or other shallow water. Punting is boating in a punt. The punter generally propels the punt by pushing against the river bed with a pole. A punt should not be confused with a gondola, a shallow draft vessel that is structurally different, and which is propelled by an oar rather than a pole. Punts were originally built as cargo boats or platforms for fowling and angling, but in modern times their use is almost exclusively confined to pleasure trips with passengers. The term ''punt'' has also been used to indicate a smaller version of a regional type of long shore working boat, for example the Deal Galley Punt. This derives from the wide usage in coastal communities of the name "punt" for any small clinker-built open-stem general purpose boat. In Canada, the term ''punt'' can also refer to any small flat-bottomed boat with a square-cut bow, regardless of purpose, building material, or propuls ...

Tübinger Stift
The Tübinger Stift () is a hall of residence and teaching; it is owned and supported by the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Württemberg, and located in the university city of Tübingen, in South West Germany. The Stift was founded as an Augustinian monastery in the Middle Ages.

Neckarinsel, Tübingen
The Neckarinsel (Neckar Island) in Tübingen, Germany is an artificial, ⅔ mile long Neckar river island, which was created in the years 1910 and 1911 by branching off a parallel channel to regulate the water level of the Neckar river. It extends from the headland west of the Ammertal train bridge, the so-called ''Bügeleisen'' (Flatiron), to the Eberhard Bridge. Geography The eastern half of the island is covered by the almost 200 years old Platanenallee (Plane tree alley). In the western area lies the so-called ''"Seufzerwäldchen"'' (sigh forest), which is traversed by some winding forest trails. West of the ''Alleenbrücke'' (Avenue Bridge) is still the so-called ''Hain'' (grove), at the end of which, under the bridge of the Ammer Valley Railway, a small tunnel leads to the western end of the island, a railing-lined plateau at the so-called ''Spitz'' or ''Bügeleisen''.
