Made In Tübingen: Literary Works By Our Alumni

How well do you know our alumni and their literary works?

In April 2025, the University Library presented the exhibition "Made in Tübingen: Literature by Our Alumni", showcasing works by individuals who, like you, once studied in the library, took exams, wrote papers, conducted research, had lunch in the cafeteria, sat on the Neckar wall, or strolled through the old town – all while writing poems, short stories, novels, and plays.

The exhibition offered a fascinating insight into the creative and productive work of former Tübingen students and researchers. The exhibition was conceived by the University Library in collaboration with the Alumni team of the University of Tübingen.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all the visitors who followed the exhibition with interest, to Srishti Chaudhari, and to the students who were willing to be filmed for our short clip.

Competition: Tell us about your personal encounter with books by our alumni

Have you come across a work that moved you, spoke to you — or perhaps even unsettled you?
Send us your feedback (max. 500 words) to alumni@uni-tuebingen.de.

Would you like to express your thoughts creatively? Go for it!
We welcome feedback in the form of graphics, photos, drawings, collages — or any other format you can imagine.

Submission deadline: May 30, 2025
The top three submissions will receive prizes and be featured on the university’s social media channels.
