Our Location
The Institute for Christian Origins is located in the centre of Tübingen, on the edge of the Old City (Altstadt)--a few minutes' walk from the main train station, next to the "Stadtgraben" bus stop, across the road from the Old Botanical Gardens, and 4 minutes' walk from the Theologicum.
It is just along the street from the Global Ethic Institute. A variety of shops, including a supermarket and a bakery, are located nearby.
In addition to its other activities in teaching and research, the Institute offers scholars and students upon request (registration form) a guest room, study space, and use of a theological library (mainly in English) for short-term stays.
