Tubingen

The wooded Neckar valley around Tübingen has shaped the city’s compact riverside form and an economy long anchored by its university. Founded in 1477, the University of Tübingen gives the old town an unusually scholarly, youthful character, while its faculties and institutes remain central to city life. Steep lanes rise from the Neckar towards St George’s Collegiate Church and Hohentübingen Castle. Traditional Stocherkähne punts move along the river beside the Hölderlin Tower, associated with poet Friedrich Hölderlin, and the tree-lined Neckarinsel. Tübingen also marks the transition from the upper Neckar valley to the nearby Swabian Jura. Browse other webcams across Baden-Württemberg to place Tübingen in a wider geographic context.
