Tübingen

Tübingen is a small university town, located near the geographic center of Baden-Württemberg, roughly 30km southwest of Stuttgart.

Understand

Tübingen's population of about 89,000 people is a mixture of students, researchers and academics, medical specialists and "Gogen". (The Gogen are people whose families have been there since forever. They used to grow berries on the hills around the town. "Goge" ~ cork.) The university and its network of hospitals are its economic lifeblood (and the biggest employer in southern Württemberg); Eberhard-Karls-Universitaet, founded in 1477, is reputed to be one of the top 5 German universities for studies in (German), medicine and law, and Tübingen serves as a regional medical service hub (they even have a malaria clinic).

About 25,000 students fill Tübingen's pubs, cafe patios and university lecture halls during "lecture time" (mid of October until mid of February and mid of April until mid of July). Meanwhile and the high concentration of educated folks with lots of free time means that there are plenty of things to do for the size of the town - 16 choirs; 3 theatres; a fine little art gallery; special lecture series at the university; and, of course, constant parties hosted by the student associations of the various departments (it's almost a competition to see whether the chemists or the anthropologists do it better). The town does get quiet, though, in the breaks between semesters (Feb 15 - April 15, July 15 - Oct 15).

The city dates back to 1078 A.D. and is remarkably excellently maintained; only one bomb fell in World War II - on the house where Goethe lived (or was it Schiller?). The "old town", which lies along the Neckar river, looks much as it would have in the 1600s - its crooked, cobblestone streets will have you walking in circles, when you're not climbing up and down the stairs built into the sidewalks! The Arts campus of the university lies nearby, while more modern science faculties and student residences perch on the large hills that surround the centre of town. Everywhere you go and there are signs of those who went before, sometimes literally ("Dr. Alzheimer worked in this building"), sometimes less so - you can find Tübingen's traces in the writings of Hesse and Hoelderlin...

Tübingen has fairly good weather compared to the rest of Germany (slightly worse than Freiburg, though). Sudden changes in the weather can make your ears pop heading up into the hills by bus, or just sitting in the marketplace in the centre of town! The medieval architecture and the students' joie de vivre and the 40% of residents who vote for the Green Party and the absurd charm of the constant festivals that wind through the streets...it's a unique little spot.

The train from Stuttgart takes about 45min by IRE train or around 1hr by normal train. If you arrive at the main train station - GPS: 48.51597,9.05529 of Tübingen, don't let the and uninviting surroundings of the train station put you off. Just leave the station behind and keep going (north) and after 10min. walking you'll be right in the old town center. If you are using regional trains the Baden Württemberg Ticket (23€ for one person 4€ more for every additional person up to five) might be an excellent option as it allows unlimited travel within one day (from 9am to 3 am of the next day) within Baden Württemberg. (not valid on ICE, IC and EC trains)

Travel on a Bus in Tübingen

The long-distance bus market is exploding in Germany, since a new law deregulated the market in 2013. There are dozens of daily services from most major cities, which are often significantly cheaper than trains. Most buses offer amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets and some can even transport bicycles. All buses leave from the Central bus station ZOB GPS: 48.51666,9.05627 next to the train station. MeinFernbus and DeinBus offer routes to e.g. München, Konstanz, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. For more information, see long distance bus travel in Germany.

By car

With Tübingen's terrible traffic system, lots of one-way streets and some very eager ticket officers, it is best to park your vehicle as soon as feasible and then explore the city on foot, bus or bicycle. Finding a spot to park you vehicle can be quite a pain, especially close to the center of the city. Almost every street there may only be used by residents at night, and during the day there are parking meters. Be sure to check the signs how long you are allowed to park there, and if you are not sure, look for another spot. Ticket officers are very quick in Tübingen. If you need to park your vehicle near downtown, you can use parking garages, but be advised and they are not cheap.

How to travel around Tübingen on a bicycle ?

The best way to get around Tübingen and its surroundings is by bicycle, just like thousands of Tübingen's students. Just don't forget to lock your bike!

Travel on a Bus in Tübingen

Tübingen has a solid bus system. Timetables and maps are available from Stadtverkehr Tübingen.

Bus tickets can be purchased on board every bus (with coins or GeldKarte/ATM Cards only - no paper bills accepted) from the machine behind the driver, or at machines at selected bus stops (but only with a GeldKarte). The machine on the bus is rather non-intuitive, so be prepared to ask friendly looking passengers for help. Note that if you already have a ticket, you can board a bus through any of the doors, as the driver does not inspect tickets upon boarding; rather, fare inspectors patrol the buses at random points during the route. If caught without a valid ticket, fares are a hefty 40€.

Day pass gets you unlimited rides from 8:30AM. Day passes cost 3.90€ for 1 person or 9.90€ for a group day ticket (maximum of 5 people).

After the buses stop running on Thursday through Friday nights, certain night bus routes are available throughout the city (check the posted schedules at the respective bus stops to see which bus routes stop where and when). On other nights, it is feasible to call for a very affordable ride on the shared cab service (Sammel Anruf Mietwagen, or SAM) (page in German only).

What to see in Tübingen

Tübingen 0005 - 265px|Market place Tübingen

Tübingen's scenic location between the forests and the Swabian Jura (Schwäbische Alb) and the river Neckar make it a beautiful stop in south-west Germany. Its flair is comparable to cities like Heidelberg or Freiburg, although Tübingen is smaller than those cities. The primary attraction is the unspoiled Altstadt (downtown) and the lively student population.

• Historical downtown - The old downtown full of crooked half-timbered houses, small alleys, cobblestone roadwork and some nice old churches.

• River Neckar - The river Neckar next to the downtown, on which the students go punting (similar to what they do in Oxford or Cambridge in summer time, occasionally with a barbecue and a crate of organic juice on board.

• Schloss - The Schloss, or castle, can be a fun place to wander around. Look at the intricately carved gate at the entrance. Skip most of the center courtyard and head up the stairs on the back side of the courtyard. This leads to a beautiful garden/courtyard, with some stunning vistas from atop the wall to the left. Alternatively, go through the tunnel on the backside of the main courtyard that will take you through the backside of the castle, a much more medieval and beautiful part of the Schloss. On certain times and there are archers shooting in the eastern moat (the "Hasengraben") of the castle. From back here there is a path that will take you along the wall of the castle and through the woods, ending up on Haaggasse very near the Marktplatz.

• City Museum - Stadtmuseum

• Kunsthalle Tübingen - A small modern art museum on one of the hills.

• Cistercian monastery Bebenhausen - About 6 kilometers north of Tübingen, right in the Schönbuch forest reservation, is the old cistercian monastery (founded 1187 A.D.) of with a small village next to it, especially nice to visit at night when part of the monastery is illuminated.

• Burg Hohenzollern - It's an easy day trip to see the Burg Hohenzollern, a fairytale castle dramatically set on top of a conical hill.

What to do in Tübingen

• Punting on the Neckar - If you are more adventurous, you might try yourself at punting: push a large wooden boat with up to 14 passengers along the river using a long wooden pole. It's not as easy as some of the professional punters make it look.

• City wall - If you arrive in Tübingen at summer, make sure you take some time to stroll along the Neckar river, maybe get some ice cream and sit on the old city wall above the water.

• Hiking in Schönbuch - Tübingen is situated at the southern rim of the Schönbuch, a large forest reservation area which offers some beautiful scenery for hiking, cycling, etc.

Annual events

• Stocherkahnrennen - In June (normally at lunch on the second Thursday of the month) and there is the famous Stocherkahnrennen (punt boat race) in which more than 40 punting boats race along the river, trying not to come in last, as each crew member of the last boat has to drink half a litre of sun-warmed cod-liver oil. Traditionally, most of Tübingen's student fraternities participate in the race, but also private crews are allowed.

• Festival of Jazz and Classical Music Days - In October.

• chocolART | Germany's largest Chocolates festival.

Study in Tübingen

The Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen dates from 1477, making it one of the oldest in Germany. The university also offers free public lectures during the semester, Studium Generale , which are open to anyone interested.

The city is also host to several research institutes including the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, The Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the MPG, and the Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Research.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Tübingen

• Mokka - A great place to buy teas, coffees, and Chocolates. Again, a great place to buy gifts for someone.

• There are a some tourist shops that sell souvenirs (mugs, T-Shirts etc.): one at Holzmarkt and the other at Marktplatz, furthermore one in tourist information at Neckarbrücke.

• University Shop - The university shop, selling sweaters, mugs, hats, and other things with the University logo printed on it.

Halal Restaurants in Tübingen

• Kalender Halal Döner - GPS: 48.51958, 9.05839 - A Turkish Halal food restaurant, where you can order high quality Halal Döner - Halal Kebabs called "Scheibendöner".

• Istanbul - Just on the south side of the Neckarbruecke. Serves some of the best Turkish Halal Food in town.

• Indian market/restaurant - On Lange Gasse, just below the Stiftskirche, is an Indian market/restaurant that has nice lunch specials.

At night and there are only a few places where you still can get something Halal to eat: a Halal döner Kebabs next to the Epple-Haus (central bus station) is opened until 4AM on the weekends, and of course any fuel station.
