Tübingen is a traditional university city in central Baden-Württemberg, Germany, 30 kilometres south of the state capital Stuttgart. Students account for almost one in three of its 90,000 residents, giving it one of the youngest profiles in Germany, with an average age of just under 40. Eberhard Karl University, founded in 1477, is one of the oldest universities north of the Alps. The city survived the Second World War with its historic fabric almost wholly intact and has since seen two major expansions: university institutes and housing on the high ground to the north in the 1960s, and the mixed-use Loretto and French Quarter to the south after French military bases were evacuated.
