TUBINGEN

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 361 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TUBINGEN , a town of Germany, in the kingdom of Wurttemberg, picturesquely situated on the hilly and well-wooded banks of the Neckar, at its junction with the Ammer and Steinlach, 22 M. south of
Stuttgart
  by road and 43 M. by rail. Pop. (1905), 16,809. The older town is irregularly built and unattractive, but the newer suburbs are handsome. The most conspicuous building is the old ducal castle of Hohentiibingen, built in 15071535 on a hill overlooking the town, and now containing the university library of 460,000 volumes, the observatory, the chemical laboratory, &c. Among the other
chief
  buildings are the quaint old Stiftskirche (14691483), a
Gothic
  building containing the tombs of the rulers of Wurttemberg, the new aula and numerous institutes of the university, all of which are modern, and the town-
hall
  dating from 1435 and restored in 1872. The university possesses a very important library. A monument was erected in 1873 to the poet Johann Ludwig Uhland (17871862), who was born and is buried here, and another, in 1881, to the poet Johann Christian Friedrich Holderlin (1770-1843). Tubingen's
chief
  claim to attention lies in its famous university, founded in 1477 by Duke Eberhard of Wurttemberg. Melanchthon was a lecturer here (15121518). The university adopted the reformed faith in 1534, and in 1537 a
Protestant
  theological seminary, a residential collegethe so-called Stiftwas incorporated with it. In 18r7 a Roman Catholic theological faculty was added, with a seminary called the Konvikt, and there are now also faculties of law, medicine, philosophy, political
economy
  and natural science. The leading faculty has long been that of theology, and an advanced school of theological criticism, the founder and chief light of which was F. C. Baur, is known as the Tubingen school. The university was attended in 19o8 by 1891 students and had a teaching staff of over roo. The commercial and manufacturing industries of the town are slight. Printing, book-selling, the manufacture of surgical and scientific
instruments
 , chemicals, gloves and vinegar, and the cultivation of hops, fruit and vines are among the leading occupations of the inhabitants. The country in the neighbourhood of Tubingen is very attractive; one of the most interesting points is the former Cistercian monastery of Bebenhausen, founded in 1185, and now a royal hunting-chateau.
Tubingen is mentioned as a strong fortress in ro78, and was ruled from 1148 by
counts
  palatine. In 1342 it was purchased by the count of Wurttemberg, whose descendants afterwards acquired the title of duke. The treaty of Tubingen is the name
given in German history to an arrangement made in 1514 between Duke Ulrich and his subjects, by which the latter acquired various rights and privileges on condition of relieving the former of his debts. The town was captured by the Swabian League in 1519, by
Turenne
  in 1647, and again in 1688 by the French, who destroyed the walls.
