Schiller's Garden House in Jena is a significant historical site, as it is one of only two preserved residences of the renowned German poet, philosopher, physician, historian, and playwright Friedrich Schiller. Schiller resided here with his family during the summers of 1797 to 1799. This period was a productive time for Schiller, during which he penned some of his most important works.
