Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen

Tübingen University is among the oldest universities in Germany. The founder Duke Eberhardt Karl in 1477 lay the basis of what today offers many of the best degrees in the country.

That is why the EKU, as it is briefly called, enjoys an excellent reputation among professors and students likewise. And although less well-known than Heidelberg, it can easily put up with both the academic excellence and quality of life there. Tübingen in contrast to many other German cities has not been destroyed at all during WW-II and therefore could maintain its appearance of many centuries gone by.

We Rhenanians have accompanied EKU history from an early age and today try to maintain this association. We hosted many university-related events and provided prominent Alumni as speakers in return.
