KogWis 2014 will take place in Tübingen in the so-called "Kupferbau" building.
The Kupferbau is located very close to the center of Tübingen by the city campus at the intersection of Hölderlinstraße and Gmelinstraße.
The building was constructed in 1968 by Paul Baumgarten. The name is due to its copper walls and roof - which makes the building rather prominent and easy to recognize.
Arrival by airplane
The closest international airport is Stuttgart airport “Echterdingen”, not very far from Tübingen. The journey from the airport to Tübingen takes about 20-30 minutes by taxi.
You can also take the bus line 826 or 828 (so-called Airport-Sprinter) and will arrive at Tübingen in about 45 minutes. The departure is in front of the terminal (arrival) every 30 minutes. The bus will arrive at the Train Station of Tübingen.
