Students don't study only in the castle, but also in other faculties spread around the town centre. The university was founded in 1477, making Tübingen one of the oldest university towns in Germany.

Vast program of events, museums and collections enrich the cultural life of the university town. Internationally respected art exhibitions as well as renowned festivals, concerts, stage plays and readings with poets of international reputation are part of the annual cultural program. The rich choice makes up an important part of the distinctive profile of Tübingen.
