Facts and practical information

The city cemetery of Tübingen is one of eleven municipal cemeteries and is located in the University district of the university city of Tübingen. The cemetery, which covers about three hectares, was laid out in 1829 according to the ideas of the then chief medical officer Gotthold Immanuel Jakob Uhland, an uncle of the poet Ludwig Uhland, and was occupied until 1968. The entire complex is listed as a historical monument. Since 2002, the burial ground has been reopened and the total of 3100 graves can be reoccupied through grave sponsorships within the framework of a monument protection concept. The cemetery, which is small in area, is one of the most remarkable cemeteries in Germany, with graves for 170 professors and 112 pastors.
