University of Tubingen (Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen) |
| Institution Profile | ||||||||||||
|
The University of Tübingen was founded in 1477 by Count (later Duke) Eberhard im Bart. In 1534 Duke Ulrich I of Württemberg brought the Reformation to Tübingen, and two years later established a Protestant Theological Seminary, the Tübinger Stift, as an academic bastion of the new faith in Southern Germany. This theological institution has been of particular importance in establishing the University's reputation, and has had a significant influence on the course of German intellectual history, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries. More recently, the medical and natural sciences centres moved up into the hills north of the city. The University of Tübingen consolidated its reputation as one of the outstanding universities in Europe. |
