Heidelberg in the seal

hardly a German city united as many songs or hits on and over itself, became the part of the general song property, like Heidelberg. That may be because of the fact that, like J. W. Goethe wrote, „Heidelberg… in his situation and with his environment of something ideal " (has). Quotations from songs and poems prove that Heidelberg is not only a city of the romance, but that in it also romantic feelings lived and live.

Friedrich Hölderlin

of the poets Friedrich Hölderlin (* 1770-1843) wrote a desert:

Heidelberg
long dear I you already, would like to call you, me to the desire
, nut/mother and you gives artless a song,
you, so
much I saw native country cities rural-most beautiful to who.
As the bird of the forest flies over the summits,
easy and strongly the bridge over the river, where he
shines to you past, which
sound from cars and humans, swing.
As of Gods sent, fesselt' a charm once
on the bridge me I went past on, there
and into the mountains to me
the attractive distance in here seemed
sad glad and the young man, who smooths river, away in pulled
, like the heart, if it, itself too beautifully
throws itself to go down loving
into the tides the time.
You had sources it, volatile
coolness the shade had given, and the Gestade sahn
All' him after, and it trembled
from the waves their lovely picture.
But heavily into the valley the gigantic, fate-well-informed
castle hung down up to the reason,
from which ranting tore up;
But the eternal sun poured
your tapering light over the aging
giant picture, and around alive ivy
became green; friendly forests
rushed over the castle down.
Sträuche flowered down, to where in heitern the valley,
leaned to the hill or the bank hold,
your merry lanes
under smelling gardens ruhn.

“The Neckar rushes to sounds,
the city from green resounding and giebt at the rock
joyfully stretches themselves the river down,
with much noise and is noisy completely lively,
and more drüber at greener mountains chest,
largely the lock rests and sees the desire,
and there I on to the sky schaut´,
saw I God a work built,
from the king chair to heil´gen mountain the back
saw I goldne bridging blown up,
saw curved I the peace rainbow
and saw him again in river waves (...) “

to Jean Paul

in 19. Century tightened Heidelberg the most famous German poets. Among them was also Jean Paul, who was treated in the city like a prince:

“I found experienced here, particularly hours,
like I it under
the most beautiful sky of my life
the water travel, the Studentenvivat, and
singing of yesterday (...) the informal clay/tone is
here ease, behaviour and joy; four
slightly drunk people Punschbowlen with Voss and
100 drunk up Weinflaschen on
the ship let this clay/tone exist nevertheless. “

Joseph Victor of Scheffel

Joseph Victor of Scheffel (1826-1886) wrote several poems over Heidelberg. One of it became in the Vertonung S. Anton Carpenter (1807-1876) as student song popular. After Scheffel the lock opposite Scheffel terrace was designated.

Old Heidelberg, you purifies,
you city at honours richly,
at the Neckar and at the Rheine
Kein' andre equals you.
City more merrily associates,
at wisdom heavily and to wine,
clear ziehn the river waves,
blue August flax flashes.
And spring comes over
the country from the lindem south,
then it weaves from blooms
resplendent a bride garb to you.
Also to me you are located in
the heart equal a bride, it
sound written as recent loving
your name me trust in such a way.
And thorns, and become
too bald mir's drauss, Geb' I
sting me the Ross spurring
and reit' in the Neckartal.
