Wilhelm WaiblingerWilhelm Waiblinger (November 21, 1804 - January 17 or 30, 1830) was a German romantic poet, mostly remembered today in connection with Friedrich Hlderlin. He was a student at the seminary of Tbingen in the 1820s, when Hlderlin, already mentally ill, lived there as a recluse in a carpenter's house. Waiblinger, who used to visit the older poet and take him out for walks, left an account of Hlderlin's life then, Hlderlins Leben, Dichtung und Wahnsinn ("Hlderlin's life, poetry and madness"). In the late 1820s, Waiblinger left Tbingen for Italy, dying in Rome at the age of 25. In his short story "Im Presselschen Gartenhaus" ("In Pressels Garden-house", 1913), Hermann Hesse gives a touching picture of a visit to Hlderlin by Waiblinger and the poet Eduard Mrike, both young theology students in Tbingen, like Hlderlin himself decades before.
