Tübingen is a traditional university city in central Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated 30 km south of the state capital, Stuttgart, and developed on both sides of the Neckar and Ammer rivers.

The city has the lowest median age in Germany, in part due to its status as a university city; as of December 31, 2015, the average age of a citizen of Tübingen is 39.1 years. Immediately north of the city lies the Schönbuch, a densely wooded nature park. The Swabian Alb mountains rise about 13 km to the southeast of Tübingen. The Ammer and Steinlach rivers are tributaries of the Neckar river, which flows in an easterly direction through the city, just south of the medieval old town.
