Friedrich von Schiller is considered one of the greatest German poets and thinkers. Born in Marbach am Neckar in 1759 in humble middle-class circumstances, Schiller was elevated to the nobility in 1802 for his services to the German language. The work "The Robbers", which was premiered in 1782, was his first great success. Nevertheless, Schiller lived for a long time in poor conditions. In 1789 he accepted a professorship in Jena.
