Tuebingen or Tübingen is a traditional university town in central Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It’s situated about forty five kilometres southwest of the state capital which is Stuttgart on a ridge between the Neckar and Ammer rivers. The old city of Tübingen’s survived the 2nd World War due to the city’s lack of heavy industry. The outcome is a growing domestic tourism region as visitors come to wander round one of the very few totally intact historic old towns in Germany.
The highlights of Tübingen consist of its crooked cobblestone lanes, narrow-stair alleyways picking their way via the hilly terrain, streets lined with canals and well-maintained traditional half-timbered houses.
Aged city landmarks include the City Hall on Marktplatz and the castle, Schloß Hohentübingen, now in the University of Tübingen. The central landmark is the Collegiate Church. Together with the rest of the city, the collegiate church was among the first to convert to Martin Luther’s protestant church. As such, it maintains and very carefully defends a number of Roman Catholic features such as patron saints. Compare Car Hire Tübingen prices today.
