Geographic center of Baden-Württemberg

Highlight • Monument

Here in the "Elysium", in the upper reaches of the Käsenbachtal close to the city and just below the Neuer Botanischer Garten, a three-tonne sculpture from the Franconian-Swabian Muschelkalk from the Tübingen Steinmetzwerkstatt Krauß was erected in 1986. It marks the geographical center of the state of Baden -Württemberg, which was calculated by the Stuttgart Land Survey Office in 1980. The stone circle symbolizes the southwest German federal state and the tilt of the 1.20 m high sculpture corresponds to 11.5 degrees, half of the actual Erdbeigung.For the 50th Birthday of the State of Baden-Württemberg The Tübingen Community Foundation redesigned the square and provided it with benches and information boards Scientifically and from a geodetic point of view, the Tübingen people have always known that the "navel of the world" can only be here in Tübingen ...

Today we went to the center of Baden Württemberg. Although one has to say that due to the different calculations, there is a second center in Boeblingen.
The tour passed the botanical garden and the Steinenberg tower. From there you have a beautiful view. Even the Hohenzollern was clearly visible today. And the botanical garden is on the program again …
