The Tübingen University Companion

Count Eberhard "the Bearded" founded a university at Tübingen in 1477, motto Attempto, "I dare." This Companion reads the town's genuinely intact old center and its annual punt race down the Neckar, and tells the story of a single shared dormitory room that once held Hegel, Schelling, and Hölderlin, three young men who would each go on to reshape an entire chapter of Western philosophy.
