The chief attraction for Schiller was, howev~r, Frau von KaIb with whom he had been passionately in love in Mannheim; but not very long afterwards he made the acquaintance at Rudolstadt of the family von Lengefeld, the younger daughter of which subsequently became his wife.
With Die Braut von Messina (1803) he experimented with a tragedy on purely Greek lines, this drama being as close an approximation to ancient tragedy as its medieval and Christian milieu permitted of.
On his retirement he turned to the astronomy of the Hebrews and Babylonians; his earlier results are given in his L Astronomia nell antico Testamento (1903), a work which has been translated into English and German, whilst later ones are to be found in various journals, the last being in Scientia (1908).

 Museums - Memorial Centre Concentration Camp Out-Station Braunschweig Schillstrasse
The area of the former camp borders on the Schill Memorial, a monument built in 1837 to commemorate the wars of liberation against the Napoleonic occupation, designed by master builder Heinrich Friedrich Uhlmann.
In the wake of the German national movement, the sponsors of the memorial intended to commemorate Prussian army major Ferdinand von Schill, who had lost his life in the war, and fourteen soldiers of his volunteer corps who had been executed in Braunschweig.
In 1994 and 1995, the commemoration ceremonies held at the Schill Memorial on the national day of mourning occasioned protest demonstrations, suggesting that this kind of commemoration was inadequate.
