Tuebingen: University Town Since 1477, Hoelderlin's Tower, and Baden-Wuerttemberg's Academic Jewel on the Neckar
Tuebingen has a population around 83,000 and sits on the Neckar and Ammer rivers in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Eberhard Karls Universitaet, founded in 1477, has around 28,000 students, meaning one in three residents is a student. Hoelderlin lived in a tower on the Neckar bank from 1807 until his death in 1843; the Hoelderlinturm is now a museum and literary venue. The Stiftskirche contains the tombs of the Dukes of Wuerttemberg.
The Altstadt, climbing steeply from the Neckar to the Schloss Hohentubingen, is one of southern Germany's most picturesque. Stocherkahn (punting) on the Neckar is a local tradition. Hermann Hesse worked as a bookseller's apprentice here. The CureVac pharmaceutical company, which developed an mRNA vaccine, is headquartered in Tuebingen's biotech cluster. Boris Palmer served as mayor from 2007 to 2023, frequently making national headlines. Tuebingen is 30 kilometres south of Stuttgart. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's framework in a city dominated by academic life.
