Tübingen
Tübingen is a city at the heart of Baden-Württemberg in the South of Germany. It lies at the banks of the Neckar river, 30 km South of Stuttgart, and pleases the eyes of its visitors with its beautiful old town, the castle Hohentübingen and the famous Neckarfront with the tower of poet Hölderin. Tübingen is home to one of Germany’s best universities, the Eberhard Karls University which was founded in 1477. With around 30,000 students at only 85,000 inhabitants, life in Tübingen is dominated by students and academics.
Neuroscience in Tübingen
Neuroscience is a major research focus in Tübingen. Neuroscience research is conducted not only at the university and the university hospital (the ‘UKT’), which is home of the Tübingen MEG center, but also in several other research institutions such as the Werner Reichardt Center for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN), the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH), the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Tübingen (BCCN), the German Center for Neurodegenertive Diseaeses (DZNE), the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) and the Max Planck Institutes for Intelligent Systems and for Biological Cybernetics.
Young scientists are an important part of the academic workforce in the Tübingen neuroscience community. Their support, advancement and education is fostered by the Graduate Training Center of Neuroscience, with over 300 enrolled master and PhD students.

Fun facts
Did you know that Tübingen …
- … is the youngest city in Germany? The mean age was 39.0 years on December 31, 2011.
- … contains the geographic center of Baden-Württemberg? It is marked by a stone, not far from the campus of the university hospital.
Travel & Accomodation
How to get to Tübingen?
The university town of Tübingen, geographically the center of Baden-Württemberg at 48°31’17” northern latitude and 9°3’16” eastern longitude, is situated within the beautiful area between the Alb foothills and Schönbuch in the Neckar valley.
The „town of short distances“ offers numerous possibilities for parking at the border of the Old Town. Shops and sights, municipal offices and institutions are mostly located in centre; further destinations are easy to access with public transportation. Shared taxis and night buses make a nightlife without car possible. A well-developed network of bike paths makes it easy to get around in town. At specific bus stops it is possible to take bikes along in the bus.
Railway
Tübingen serves as a railway junction with connections to Stuttgart, Black Forest, the Swabian Alb and the region of Lake Constance. From Stuttgart central station it takes just 55 minutes to the centre of Tübingen.
Plane
From Stuttgart airport by car via B27 in 25 minutes to the centre of Tübingen, or by airport shuttle, „Airport Sprinter“ No. 828, in 50 minutes to Tübingen’s bus terminal. The bus runs hourly from the central bus stop in front of Terminal 1 of the arrival section.
Car
From the autobahn A8 (München-Stuttgart) via B27 in 30 minutes; from autobahn A81 (Singen-Heilbronn) via B28 in 25 minutes. Tübingen contains a Green Zone, where environmental badges are obligatory for every vehicle. This measure was taken to cut down the load of particulate matter.
