Tübingen
Houses above the Neckar
Portrait
Nearly half of Tübingen's population is connected to the university, founded in 1477, and the seminary produced Hegel, Schelling and Hölderlin as roommates. Hölderlin spent his last thirty-six years in a tower on the Neckar, cared for by a carpenter's family after his mind failed; the tower is a museum and the punts pass beneath it.
