Allama Iqbal in Heidelberg
Heidelberg, the city was associated with the great poet-philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

Iqbal went to Germany to pursue a Ph.D in Philosophy and studied in Heidelberg and Munich. Sometime in 1907, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Friedrich Hommel, Iqbal submitted his Ph.D thesis titled "The Development of Metaphysics in Persia" to the Ludwig Maximilians University at Munich and was granted a doctorate.

"Iqbal Ufer", the street honoring the great poet, is right across from Marriott Hotel in Heidelberg and a constant reminder of the philosopher-poet's years of association with this city. "Ufer" means river bank in German and this location is right on the river Neckar.

One of the rare photographs of the house where Iqbal lived in Heidelberg and where a sandstone plaque from 1966 acknowledges the historic landmark.
The plaque reads:
Mohammad Iqbal
1877 – 1938
National Philosopher, Poet
and Spiritual Father of Pakistan
lived here in the year 1907.

This honorary plaque was displayed on September 16th, 1966 by the minister of cultural affairs of the state of Baden Wuerttemberg Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hahn in the presence of His Excellency the Ambassador of Pakistan Abdurrahman Khan and the 1st mayor of the city of Heidelberg, Georg Klemm.

Remembering October 8, 2005


Five years after a devastating earthquake ravaged the lives of Pakistanis in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the Northern Areas, killing over 73,000 people, many survivors await government assistance in the form of housing or employment. Towns and villages lie in limbo, awaiting the implementation of reconstruction and rehabilitation projects. And yet, people are slowing forgetting the natural disaster that shook the nation not so long ago. In memory of their plight, Dawn.com presents images from the Dawn Media Group's archives of that dreadful day. (Photos: Arif Mahmood/ White Star)
