With a very generous donation from a Dickinson Alum, six Dickinson students were able to afford a weekend trip to T\u00fcbingen, Germany. While there, we were able explore the city and visit Professor McGaughey, a Dickinson Professor currently on sabbatical.<\/p>\n\n\n

On Friday afternoon after we finally arrived, Professor McGaughey gave us a quick tour of her favorite places to grab a drink and helped get us oriented with the city. We ended our evening with Professor McGaughey at the Neckarm\u00fcller Biergarten, which sits right along the bank of the Neckar River.<\/p>\n\n\n

We started our Saturday by taking the Regional Tram to Bebenhausen, a small village just outside of T\u00fcbingen, famous for its rich history and beautiful Kl\u00f6ster (monasteries). Naturally, we toured the Kl\u00f6ster and learned lots about the local history. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Afterwards, we met with Professor McGaughey and her Stepmother, to learn about the Tafel <\/em>in T\u00fcbingen, a foodbank where young people often volunteer. Next, we moved onto a city tour. We hiked up a large hill to the University of T\u00fcbingen, where we got to look over the city and take in the sights of some of its most important and historically significant locations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sunday morning, we took one more turn about the city and explored the H\u00f6lderlin tower, a building famous for being the place of residence of famous poets, most notably Friedrich H\u00f6lderlin. Although the trip was short, with the help of Professor McGaughey we received an exclusive look into life in T\u00fcbingen and had a ton of fun in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
