Schwabenhaus

Schwabenhaus is a three-story building in central Tübingen featuring a mansard roof and ornate facades. Inside, a grand hall occupies the first floor, with office spaces, meeting rooms, and a cafeteria for students.

The building was constructed around 1900 by architects Eisenlohr & Weigle as the first Corps house for the student fraternity Suevia Tübingen. Its design reflects French Rococo influences typical of early 1900s architecture in the region.

The building takes its name from the student organization based here and serves as a meeting place for undergraduates from different groups. The spaces host gatherings, discussions, and social events that shape student life in Tübingen.

The building is located in the town center opposite the New Assembly Hall and is easily accessible on foot. The cafeteria and common areas are open to visitors, though some spaces are reserved for student gatherings.

The building survived demolition plans in the 1960s thanks to its protected status as a cultural monument, preserving its French Rococo-influenced design. Today it stands as a reminder of a less-noticed layer of Tübingen's university history.
