Friedrich Schiller was born in Marbach on November 10, 1759, the son of an officer and wound surgeon. At the age of fourteen, Friedrich was sent(Submitted on February 27, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)by his sovereign, the Württemberg Duke Karl Eugene, to the "Karlsschule", a military academy. There the students were subjected to a harsh military drill, from which Schiller suffered greatly. The study of law and later medicine captivated the young man far less than the works of Rousseau, Klopstock and Shakespeare, which were banned at the academy. At the age of 13, Schiller had already begun writing plays. His first poem was printed in 1776. In this year, Schiller, longing for freedom, was already writing drafts of "The Robbers". After passing his exams and writing his dissertation, Schiller left the military academy in December 1880 and became a regimental doctor. As such, however, he is not allowed to wear civilian clothes and the low salary allows him only a modest life.Photographed By James Hulse, February 20, 20242.
