Satis Shroff's Reviews > Poems of Friedrich Hölderlin Friedrich Holderlin’s Selected Poetry translated by David Constantine. The Swabian poet Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843) was born in Lauffen upon the Neckar on the 20th of March 250 years ago. He was a German poet and philosopher and was influenced by Hegel and Schelling, and was also an important thinker of German idealism.
