History[edit]
Main article: History of Wrttemberg
The University of Tbingen was founded in 1477 by Count Eberhard V
(Eberhard im Bart, 14451496), later the first Duke of Wrttemberg, a civic
and ecclesiastic reformer who established the school after becoming
absorbed in the Renaissance revival of learning during his travels to Italy. Its
first rector was Johannes Nauclerus.
Its present name was conferred on it in 1769 by Duke Karl Eugen who
appended his first name to that of the founder. The university later became
the principal university of the kingdom of Wrttemberg. Today, it is one of nine
state universities funded by the German federal state of Baden-Wrttemberg.

The Alte Aula

The University of Tbingen has a history of innovative thought, particularly in
theology, in which the university and the Tbinger Stift are famous to this day.
Philipp Melanchthon (14971560), the prime mover in building the German
school system and a chief figure in the Protestant Reformation, helped
establish its direction. Among Tbingen's eminent students (and/or
professors) have been the astronomer Johannes Kepler; the economist Horst
Khler (President of Germany); Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), poet
Friedrich Hlderlin, and the philosophers Friedrich Schelling and Georg
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. "The Tbingen Three" refers to Hlderlin, Hegel and
Schelling, who were roommates at the Tbinger Stift. Theologian Helmut
Thielicke revived postwar Tbingen when he took over a professorship at the
reopened theological faculty in 1947, being made administrative head of the
university and President of the Chancellor's Conference in 1951.
The university rose to the height of its prominence in the middle of the 19th
century with the teachings of poet and civic leader Ludwig Uhland and the
Protestant theologian Ferdinand Christian Baur, whose circle, colleagues and
students became known as the "Tbingen School," which pioneered the
historical-critical analysis of biblical and early Christian texts, an approach
generally referred to as "higher criticism." The University of Tbingen also
was the first German university to establish a faculty of natural sciences, in
1863. DNA was discovered in 1868 at the University of Tbingen by Friedrich
Miescher. Christiane Nsslein-Volhard, the first female Nobel Prize winner in
medicine in Germany, also works at Tbingen. The faculty for economics and
business was founded in 1817 as the "Staatswissenschaftliche Fakultt" and
was the first of its kind in Germany.
Nazi period[edit]
Main article: University education in Nazi Germany
The University played a leading role in efforts to legitimize the policies of the
Third Reich as "scientific". Even before the victory of the Nazi Party in the
general election in March 1933, there were hardly any Jewish faculty and a
few Jewish students. Physicist Hans Bethe was dismissed on 20 April 1933
because of non-Aryan origin. Religion professor Traugott Konstantin
Oesterreich and the mathematician Erich Kamke were forced to take early
retirement, probably in both cases the non-Aryan origin of their wives.[5] At
least 1158 people were sterilized the University Hospital.[6]
After the war[edit]
In 1966, Joseph Ratzinger, who would later become Pope Benedict XVI, was
appointed to a chair in dogmatic theology at Tbingen, where he was a
colleague of Hans Kng.
In 1970 the university was restructured into a series of faculties as
independent departments of study and research after the manner of French
universities.
The university made the headlines in November 2009 when a group of left-
leaning students occupied one of the main lecture halls, the Kupferbau, for
several days. The students' goal was to protest tuition fees and maintain that
education should be free for everyone.
In May 2010 Tbingen joined the Matariki Network of Universities (MNU)
together with Dartmouth College (USA), Durham University (UK), Queens
University (Canada), University of Otago (New Zealand), University of
Western Australia (Australia) and Uppsala University (Sweden).[7]
Research focus[edit]
The University of Tbingen undertakes a broad range of research projects in
various fields. Among the more prominent ones in the natural sciences are
the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, which focuses on general,
cognitive and cellular neurology as well as neurodegeneration, and the
Centre for Interdisciplinary Clinical Research, which deals primarily with cell
biology in diagnostics and therapy of organ system diseases. In the liberal
arts, the University of Tbingen is noteworthy for having the only faculty of
rhetoric in Germany the department was founded by Walter Jens, an
important intellectual and literary critic. The university also boasts continued
pre-eminence in its centuries-old traditions of research in the fields of
philosophy, theology and philology. Since at least the nineteenth century,
Tbingen has been the home of world-class research in prehistoric studies
and the study of antiquity, including the study of the ancient Near East; a
particular focus of the research in these areas at the University of Tbingen
has been Anatolia, e.g., through the continued excavations of the university at
Troy.
Campus[edit]
The University of Tbingen is not a campus university, but is spread
throughout the town: Tbingen is one of five classical "university towns" in
Germany. The other four are Marburg, Gttingen, Freiburg and Heidelberg.
[citation needed] In Tbingen there are four areas with a major concentration of

university institutions.
The university uses a number of buildings in the old town of Tbingen,
some of which date back to the foundation of the university. Today,
these are mainly used by smaller humanities departments, as is the
adjacent castle, Schloss Hohentbingen.
Northeast of the old town, the Wilhelmstrae area surrounding the
street of the same name is home to larger humanities departments as
well as the university's administration. The main university library and
main refectory are also in this area.
A new campus for the sciences was built in the 1970s at Morgenstelle,
on a hill north of the historic centre of Tbingen. Facilities include a
large refectory.
The university's teaching hospitals are located between the
Wilhelmstrae area and the Morgenstelle campus in an area
collectively known as the Klinikum. The 17 hospitals in Tbingen
affiliated with the university's faculty of medicine have 1,500 patient
beds, and cater to 66,000 in-patients and 200,000 out-patients on an
annual basis.[8]
Accommodation provided by the Tbingen Studentenwerk is in several
locations throughout the town. The largest of the eleven halls of residence are
at Waldhuser Ost (1,700 rooms) and in the Franzsisches Viertel (500
rooms).[9]
Libraries[edit]
 Library: Bonatzbau
The University Library of Tbingen is not just available to those affiliated with
the university, but also to the general public. The library provides more than
three million individual volumes and more than 7,600 journals. Apart from the
main library, more than 80 departmental libraries containing an additional
three million volumes are also associated with the university.
The main lending library is located on Wilhelmstrae and consists of several
different parts which are connected through corridors and walkways:
The Bonatzbau, the library's oldest building, was built in 1912 and
currently houses the historical reading room (Historischer Lesesaal), the
university archive, along with a number of manuscript collections.
The library's main building, constructed in 1963, contains the
information desk and research stations to access electronic catalogues
and databases.
The Ammerbau is the most recent addition to the library complex. Built
in 2002, it offers users direct access to over 300,000 volumes and latest
issues of newspapers, magazines and journals. It also contains
numerous work places and separate individual rooms for group work.
Organisation[edit]
Faculties[edit]
The university is made up of 7 faculties, some of which are subdivided into
further departments.[10]
Protestant Theology
Catholic Theology
Law
Medicine
Humanities
Economics and Social Sciences
Science
Governance[edit]
The university is governed by three separate bodies sharing different
functions and duties. However, some persons serve in more than one body.
The Rectorate is the executive component of the university's governing body.
The current rector, Professor Bernd Engler, is supported by four deputies
consisting of three prorectors and one provost. All are also permanent
members of the university senate.[11][12]
The Senate forms the legislative section of governance. Apart from the
members of the rectorate, it includes the equal opportunities commissioner,
the deans and 20 elected members representing the professors, lecturers,
students and non-academic staff. Two advisors represent the university's
teaching hospitals.[13]
The University Council (Hochschulrat or Universittsrat) has 13 members,
including its president and vice-president as well as five further internal and
six external members.[14]
Reputation[edit]
The University of Tbingen is associated with several Nobel laureates,
especially in the fields of medicine and chemistry. In 2012 the University of
Tbingen was awarded for its future concept "Research Relevance
Responsibility" in the course of the German Universities Excellence Initiative.
[15] The award brings huge additional research funds for five years.[16] The

university may also call itself German "Eliteuniversitt" (Elite University) now.
According to The Times Higher Education Supplement (2016) Tbingen is
one of the 78 best universities in the world[17] and one of the 48 world-beating
universities in Arts and Humanities.[18] As a consequence of this, The
Economist understands Tbingen as "home to a famous university".[19] Since
some of the most influential Protestant and Catholic theologians of the 20th
century have been trained there, the University of Tbingen is especially
renowned in the fields of Theology and Philosophy of Religion. The Eberhard
Karls University is the only university in the German-speaking world that
teaches rhetoric as an independent subject of study.[20] Moreover, in the area
of German Studies (German: Germanistik) Tbingen has been ranked first
among all German universities for many years.
Tbingen has numerous highly renowned partner universities all over the
world. Many of them are members of the Association of American
Universities. The partner schools include inter alia University of Cambridge,
University of St. Andrews, University of Edinburgh, University College London
in Great Britain,[21] National University of Singapore, University of Hong Kong,
Peking University in Asia, McGill University in Canada, Yale University,
University of Michigan, Georgetown University, University of Texas at Austin,
University of California, Berkeley, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
Brown University, and Princeton Theological Seminary in the US.[22] Students
from the University of Tbingen can study within the framework of study
exchange programs (without tuition fees) at these foreign partner universities,
too. More than 1,000 students from Tbingen study in more than 500 foreign
partner universities each year.[23]
Student life[edit]
 Sculpture Urpferd at campus Morgenstelle
As the university's students make up roughly a third of the total population of
Tbingen, the town's culture is to a large extent dominated by them.
Consequently, there is a slump of activity during university holidays,
particularly over the summer, when a large number of otherwise regular
events do not take place.
Around 30 Studentenverbindungen, the German type of fraternities, are
associated with the university. While famous for their parties, public academic
lectures and the yearly "Stocherkahn-Rennen" punting-boat race on the
Neckar river, some of them are the subject of ongoing controversy
surrounding alleged rightwing policial views, leading to strong criticism from
leftist groups.[24] The university itself takes a neutral stance on this issue.
Also closely linked to the university are a number of student societies
representing mainly the arts and political parties. Most notable are a number
of choirs as well as student theatre groups affiliated with the faculty of Modern
Languages, some of which perform in foreign languages. Radio Uniwelle
Tbingen is the university's radio station, airing seven hours of programmes a
week produced by students under the supervision of staff employed by the
university.[25]
The university also offers gym and sports classes called Hochschulsport.[26]
Since Tbingen has a department of sports science with a broad range of
facilities, students of other subjects have the possibility to participate in
various kinds of sports courses in teams or as individuals. Furthermore, even
exotic sports, such as parachuting or martial arts, are offered. Students may
attend courses either for free or at reduced rates. The sports department is
located close to the Wilhelmstrae area of university buildings and is served
by a number of frequent bus routes.
Unlike in some major cities, student discounts are not widely available in
Tbingen. Cinemas and the town council's public library in particular do not
offer discounts for students, and there are only a handful of restaurants which
have reduced lunch deals. However, students may benefit from the
Semesterticket, a heavily discounted public transport season pass offering six
months of unlimited travel on trains and buses in the naldo Verkehrsverbund
transport association for approximately 62.50.[27] The Landestheater
Tbingen theatre and all public swimming pools also have discounts for
students.
Nightlife in Tbingen is centered on the numerous pubs in the old town along
with a number of clubs, most of which dedicate themselves to non-
mainstream music. During the semester, the Studentenwerk-owned Clubhaus
at the centre of the Wilhelmstrae university area hosts the weekly
Clubhausfest on Thursday nights. This popular, free-entry club night is
organized and promoted by student societies and Fachschaft student
representative bodies and all proceeds go towards their activities in support
of students.

Controversies[edit]
Tbingen's elitist self-conception is often controversially discussed.[citation needed]
Since almost all German universities are public (most private universities do
not have the official German "Universittsstatus"), and therefore mainly paid
by taxes and generally egalitarian, there is no German Ivy League of
institutions of higher education. Moreover, the German Universities
Excellence Initiative is a publicity-laden fund for specific research projects
only. It aims to promote cutting-edge research, to create outstanding
conditions for young scientists at universities, and to strengthen some
selected universities more than others in order to raise their international
visibility.
This self-conception is also of historical interest: from 1900 to 1929 members
of the Studentenverbindungen in Tbingen already understood themselves as
the German national elite ("Fhrer der Nation").[31] Every May until 2008,
duelling fraternities of the "Tbinger Waffenring" organized a big torchlight
procession and sang traditional German and Germanic songs in the old town
("Maieinsingen"), accompanied by huge anti-nationalistic counter-
demonstrations of left-wing student groups.[32]
In 1969, the progressive political and theological climate alienated Professor
Joseph Ratzinger (who later became Pope Benedict XVI) and led to his short-
lived tenure at the university. According to the Swabian daily newspaper, the
Schwbisches Tagblatt, Ratzinger was theologically "traumatized" at the
University of Tbingen.[33] In Aus meinem Leben: Erinnerungen he describes
the liberalism of Tbingen's student activism as "the cruel countenance of this
atheistic devoutness" ("das grausame Antlitz dieser atheistischen
Frmmigkeit").[34]
Quote[edit]
"One need merely say 'Tbingen Seminary' to understand what
German philosophy is at bottom: an insidious theology. The Swabians
are the best liars in Germany: they lie innocently." Friedrich
Nietzsche, 1888[35]
