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 ...

Extreme value calculation measured. Who is right ?
The hiker can be happy, he can make two tours.
