The garden house of Friedrich Schiller is a small sight close to the city center of Jena, Germany. He lived here from 1797 to 1799 (before he moved to Weimar) and wrote parts of his works “Wallenstein” and “Maria Stuart” here. Within the garden there is also the original stone table where Schiller often sat together with Goethe.
Schiller bought the building for 1050 talers to have a garden and get some fresh air. Earlier he was living in different flats within the city center, while being a professor at the university. Today the building belongs to the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena and contains a small museum about Schillers years in Jena. The garden can be accessed without paying an entrance fee.
