      Johannes Kepler (1571--1630) and Friedrich Hölderlin (1770--1843) temporarily lived in the same towns (Maulbronn, Leonberg, Tübingen) and were educated at the same institutions (Seminary of Tübingen, University of Tübingen). In 1589, Kepler was admitted to the Seminary of Tübingen. 200 years later Hölderlin dedicated an ode of nine stanzas to Kepler whom he deeply admired. The paper mainly consists of a learned, charming interpretation of this poem.
