Tucked away on an unassuming street in Lorch lies an intriguing historical structure, known as Schillerhaus or Schmiede Molt. This house is where the famous poet Friedrich Schiller spent his early years. Until 2001, another house in the town was mistakenly identified as Schillerhaus. The current house is thought to have been erected around 1705, after which it was occupied by the blacksmith Johann Michael. It passed several hands until an adolescent Schiller moved here and learned the basics of writing in this town. Today, the Schillerhaus is an important landmark of Lorch's fascinating history and a reminder of Schiller's early life.
