Old railway bridge over the Murr (Bottwartal Railway)

Highlight • Bridge

The old railway bridge over the Murr is the largest bridge structure of the historic Bottwartalbahn railway (official structure number 3023). It is located between Marbach am Neckar and Murr. The bridge was commissioned in 1894 with the opening of the section. Regular train traffic on this section ended in 1968. The structure is today a disused, rusty steel truss bridge, which is no longer accessible and is increasingly decaying. Large parts of the rails or metal elements have been removed over the years.

Schiller's Birthplace

Highlight • Historical Site

In this small, rather inconspicuous half-timbered building in Marbach am Neckar, Friedrich Schiller was born in 1759. Although Schiller moved with his parents to Lorch and Ludwigsburg after only a few years, Marbach developed into a place of reverence for the poet after Schiller's death. Based on a drawing, the birthplace was even identified in 1812 and a memorial plaque was attached, which you can still admire today.

Schiller's birthplace today houses a small permanent exhibition where you can learn something about Schiller's childhood years and also about the living conditions in Marbach at that time. If you want to learn even more about Schiller, you should also visit the museum on Schillerhöhe.

Opening hours of the birthplace:
April to October daily 9 am to 5 pm
November to March daily 10 am to 4 pm
