    From 1844 to 1851, Eduard Mörike lived in Mergentheim and married the officer's daughter Margarethe Speeth in the castle church in 1851. A famous testimony from this time is the household book, which provides information about the daily life of the Mörike family and is now located in the Deutschordensmuseum. Since November 2004, there has been a dedicated Mörike cabinet there, which commemorates this period. Already in 1837, he had been here as a spa guest with his sister Klara.

    About Mergentheim he remarked: “The area is charming and cheerful people around. The crystal-clear spring immediately washed away all the filth from my soul the next morning.”

    Cycle in the footsteps of Eduard Mörike into the Vorbach valley and visit important sites from the life of the Swabian poet.

    A little town blooms in the Tauber valley,

    I praise and commend it all the time,

    Life there is so very fine!

    In the inn at the Bergkirche Laudenbach hangs a portrait of Eduard Mörike. In Ebertsbronn is the Mörike spring.

    In Wermutshausen, the cider press and viticulture museum (phone: 07932 8344) and, of course, the Mörike memorial room (phone: 07932 8880) invite you to visit by appointment.

    In Weikersheim, you can visit the Renaissance castle with the alchemists’ workshop and magnificent Baroque garden as well as the Tauberländer village museum.

    As a conclusion, we recommend a visit to the state-recognized wine and recreation resort Markelsheim.
