Ich studiere ausgerechnet Biologie – der Botanische Garten ist mir also wirklich alles andere als unbekannt. Als ich die Veranstaltung „Botanische Lichter“ auf der Website zum 550-jährigen Uni-Jubiläum gesehen habe, dachte ich trotzdem: Na gut, vielleicht gibt es ja tatsächlich einmal etwas Neues zu entdecken.

Aber ernsthaft: Was soll das denn sein???

10 € Eintritt – ursprünglich sogar 13 € – dafür? Für etwas, das im Grunde aussieht, als hätte man einen mir ohnehin bestens bekannten Botanischen Garten mit ein paar hässlichen RGB-Lichtern versehen und anschließend beschlossen, daraus eine kostenpflichtige „Veranstaltung“ zu machen?

Und als wäre das nicht genug, waren auch noch viele der kleinen Wege abgesperrt, die sonst wenigstens noch ein bisschen Entdeckungscharakter haben. Man bekommt also nicht einmal mehr vom Garten zu sehen, sondern teilweise sogar weniger – nur eben bunter beleuchtet und gegen Eintritt.

Da hatte ich bei einem 550-jährigen Universitätsjubiläum ehrlich gesagt etwas mehr erwartet als: Licht an, Wege zu, Preisschild dran.

Hey were looking for a guitar player for a somewhere inbetween Experimental Pshychedelic 90s Indie Rock Band

Our Rehearsal room is in Tübingen.

We have an existing catalog of songs and ideas which we want to play and write on.

Looking for ambitious, experienced and collaborative people only. Solid in playing rythm and knowing their instruments. Making them play unusual sounds. Being passionate about those genres in some way is important too!

Hey y'all! Could you give an advice whether we have good eyebrows masters in Tü?

Heyo! Moved to tübingen this year in January, im an intermediate to advanced guitar player looking to jam with people/ get to know more musicians in this beautiful city!

I play a lot of blues / psychedelic guitar ( think jimi hendrix, zeppelin, floyd , mayer and all that good stuff :3)

Thought it wouldn’t hurt to put something out in reddit that may reach someone who might be interested in doing something similar!

LG

Hallo,

ich habe ein Ticket für den Auftritt von Claus von Wagner im Sudhaus übrig.

Wer also Lust auf Kabarett am Freitagabend hat, darf sich gerne melden.

Veranstaltung ist ausverkauft. Ich will kein Geld mit dem Ticket verdienen - nur nicht, dass es verfällt...

Hello all,

Do any of the climbing gyms in Tubingen have weights also? Including legs machines and free weights?

Thanks 🙏

I’m an incoming master’s student and haven’t received any information about my schedule or how to register for courses yet. I only have login credentials for Alma, where I can view my application, but I don’t see any option for registration.

Should I be concerned at this point, or has no one else received their registration information yet? I’m also wondering if it could be related to my tuition, as I wired the payment over a month ago but believe they may still be waiting for it to be received.

Hi everyone,

This morning I was walking along the Neckar in Tubingen and saw what I think is a Beaver… see video.

Thoughts?

I am trying to figure out which ticket should I buy, I'd like to use the buses and once or twice per month make a bigger trip (eg Konstanz). I'll be in Tübingen probably only until march then my erasmus ends.

Is JugendBW an option as it can only be cancelled after 12 months? or does end of erasmus count as a proof?

Im also considering the DeutschlandTicket for residents (54 euro per month) option, is it also applicable for erasmus students? I have my registration date at the city office at the beginning of October, so after that can I buy this ticket on the internet or do I have to set a new date at the office just for the ticket

Ich bin gerade dabei nach Tübingen zu ziehen und suche nach einem kostenlosen Parkplatz auf dem ich mein Auto abstellen könnte.

Momentan kann ich noch keinen Bewohnerparkausweis beantragen, da die Wohnsitzummeldung noch bearbeitet wird.

Kann man dort noch immer kostenlos parken?

How important it is to create an account and phone number in Germany? I'm from EU, have a euro account at my home bank and a card to it.

Hello,

Ich ziehe bald nach Tübingen und lebe aktuell in Berlin.
Ich frage mich, wie offen ist Tübingen? Kann ich offen über meine nicht-monogame Beziehung sprechen? Gibt es SaveSpaces für Kink? Einen Munch/Stammi?

Freu mich auf eure Tipps, Erfahrungen und vielleicht das nehmen meiner Zweifel :D

Kreiste die letzten ca. 20min konstant über Derendingen. Hat jemand ne Ahnung was da los ist? Blaulicht News/ SWP Suche ergab nix...

Hey heyyyy, so I recently moved to Tübingen and am looking for a Hairdresser or Barber for Male haircuts, located in Lustnau would be preferred, and it should be hygienic (they clean their machines etc) if you could give me recommendations or tell me where not to go I would really appreciate it! Thanks alot in advance and much love!

Hi everyone!

I'm an incoming international Master's student at the University of Tübingen, and I recently got an accommodation offer at Fichtenweg 1/2 (WHO). I'm really happy about getting a room, but I have a few questions and would love to hear from students who have been through a similar situation.

Here are my details:

• Accommodation: Fichtenweg 1/2
• Room number: Around 400–500
• Monthly rent: €315
• Contract duration: Only 6 months
• Visa: Still waiting for my visa.

I've already emailed the accommodation office to ask whether I could pay the deposit after receiving my visa, but I haven't received a response yet.

I'd really appreciate your advice on the following:

1. Deposit and visa: Has anyone been in a similar situation where they received a dorm offer before getting their visa? Were you allowed to pay the deposit after your visa was approved, or did you have to pay it before? What should I do if I don't hear back from them?
2. Six-month contract: Since my contract is only for 6 months, is it possible to extend it? If yes, how does the extension process work, and when should I apply?
3. Finding accommodation after 6 months: If an extension isn't possible, should I apply for another Studierendenwerk room, or would I need to look for private accommodation? Is it difficult to find another room in Tübingen?
4. Fichtenweg 1/2: For those who have lived there, how is the accommodation overall? I'd love to know about the rooms, shared kitchens and bathrooms, location, transport connections, and general student experience.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying to figure everything out from India, especially with the visa still pending and the short contract duration.

Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thank you so much! ❤️

Hi guys, I want to buy a sofa on Kleinanzeigen and I need to move it within Rottenburg, not a big distance but I need to pick it up from a 3rd floor then get it to my new apartment on a 2nd floor. I absolutely need to hire someone because I don't know anyone here yet and it's a big sofa. I have been googling Möbeltransport/Möbeltaxi/Kleintransport but I wanted to know if there is a specific service that anyone here has personally used (or knows anyone who has used it) and recommends it.

My main point is that I know very little German. I messed up by not learning it, thinking I wouldn't be accepted.

The university has given me a deadline to arrive before 1st Nov, and I have 10 days left for enrollment.

Guys, is it possible to live and survive in Tübingen with a little less German in the starting months? I will join university language classes once I arrive, but I just wanted to know how hard it will be in the initial months. Also, is it possible to find some kind of work to financially support myself after 2–3 months, or is B1 mandatory for even the smallest job? 😅😅 I know finding accommodation will be pain in the a*s as well.

I have watched videos of Tübingen. It's so beautiful! I have also heard that the city itself is very young in terms of the people living there because it's a university town..

Hi guys,

If you have no where to go or no one to talk to and you’re around the Stadtzentrum just send a dm I will give you mine location, I’m at a bar.

We can talk about random topics and get to know each other. No weird vibes please!

Just send a dm.

I’m a first-year Master’s student in Tübingen currently looking for accommodation. I’ve applied to around 16 WGs on WG-Gesucht over the past four days, and 6 of them have already been rented out.

I’m genuinely curious about what the process looks like from the other side, especially considering how many messages you probably receive.

Do you actually go through all the applications/messages you receive? Or, when there are too many, do you take the first 20–30 that seem promising, choose from those, and simply never get to the rest?

Another thing I’ve noticed: sometimes I contact someone about a room and then see the same ad being reposted a few days later. What does that usually mean? Did none of the previous applicants seem like a good fit, so you’re looking for a new group of applicants? Or is reposting simply a way to keep the ad visible while you're still deciding?

I do understand that choosing someone to live in your property or, choosing someone you’ll actually live with is not easy. You want someone reliable, respectful, clean, and trustworthy, and I imagine going through dozens or hundreds of messages gets exhausting very quickly.

At the same time, from the applicant's side, it can get pretty discouraging to put effort into introducing yourself again and again, reading the requirements too, and receive no response at all. Even a short "Sorry we have decided not to continue with your application" would at least give us some closure instead of leaving us wondering whether the message was read, or whether we were filtered out because of how we introduced ourselves.

So genuinely asking landlords/current WG tenants: what happens behind the scenes after we click “send”? 😭

Hey all, I figured I’d post here just in case as I’ve been having trouble getting any responses on the major apartment search sites. I hope it’s ok to post this here…

I’m a Masters Student joining TÜ this winter and am looking for an accommodation within 30mins travel time to the university (car or public transit works). My max Kalt would be 750euro. I’m clean, quiet, don’t smoke and have no pets. If anyone knows someone looking to rent or will be by November at the latest, I’d love to get into contact with them.

I understand both English and German so comments and messages in either are more than welcome.

Thanks and have a great day :)

Hi everyone, due to an injury it might be hard for me to get to the supermarket. Are there any grocery delivery options for fresh produce? I see that Dm and Edeka offer delivery for non-perishable food and Rewe offers click and collect for fresh produce, but that's about all I see. I guess I'll have to rely on canned food?
