University of Tübingen

The University of Tübingen, officially the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, is a public research university in the city of Tübingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was founded in 1477 by Count Eberhard V, who later became the first Duke of Württemberg, and its first rector was Johannes Nauclerus. It is one of eleven German Excellence Universities and is known today for work in medicine, law, philosophy, theology and, more recently, artificial intelligence. In this atlas it appears as the university where Johannes Kepler entered the Tübinger Stift in 1589 and learned the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems from the mathematics professor Michael Maestlin.
