indeed, it was Hoelderlin. the cryptic hint about living in a tower room of a room refered to him living in a room of a tower that belonged to a man named "Zimmer", which is German for "room"

Magellan did circumvent the globe, though he failed to survive the circumnavigation

! 
 
as I understand it, his expedition completed the circumnavigation but he did not, having died on-route. Technically, since he had made the journey from Spain to the Philippines on an earlier expedition he did a full circumnavigation - just not in one go.
 
Anyway - that's all irrelavent as it's not the answer to Eugene's clue.
 
How about Magellanmusic? Nay, thought not Unhappy
What?

the circumnavigator may be Piccard. who went around the world in a balloon. but what is a relative of the balloon? a starship? Captain Piccard of Enterprise is indeed a relative of Piccard the balloon navigator, as is revealed in one of the episodes of "Star Trek -The Next Generation". but how does that fit?

Mmm... Well...
 
The circumnavigation was made with one kind of ships. The second part of the riddle is another kind.

Русский язык... Approve  Wink
 
I made it also kinda cryptic, but I'm sure you'll know the answer...
 
 
If not, my apologies in advance, I'll say it directly.

I'm gonna assume Russian, cause I know it ain't French Wink

Okay, so the first part is the circumnavigator, and the second is a ship, but not the type of ships he used to sail.

On that assumption -- both parts of the riddle are related to it, in that way or another.
 
 
EDIT: absolutely right  Approve
