The University of Tübingen was founded in 1477 by Count Eberhard im Bart . In 1534 Duke Ulrich I of Württemberg brought the Reformation to Tübingen, and two years later established a Protestant Theological Seminary, "The Tübinger Stift" , as an academic bastion of the new faith in southern Germany. This theological institution has been of particular importance in establishing the University's reputation, and has had a significant influence on the course of German intellectual history.
