Neckarfront, Historic waterfront buildings in Tübingen, Germany

The Neckarfront is a row of multi-storey, gabled residential houses on the south bank of the Neckar, running upriver from the Eberhard Bridge to the Hölderlinturm and its punt-boat pier. The houses stand on a still partly existing city wall, and the tower of the Collegiate Church rises above them. Behind the row lie Neckargasse and Bursagasse, where number 16 houses the Zimmertheater.

The riverside houses of the Neckarfront stand with their southern side on parts of Tübingen's still partly surviving city wall. The tower of the Stiftskirche rises above the row of buildings, while upriver the Alte Burse, the Tübinger Stift and the houses along the Neckarhalde continue the front, all overlooked by Hohentübingen Castle.

The Zimmertheater uses one of the buildings at Bursagasse 16 and shapes the cultural life of the town. These buildings are part of daily life in Tübingen, where locals and visitors gather by the river to spend time together.

A walking path runs along the Neckarfront between Eberhard Bridge and Hölderlinturm, offering direct access to the riverbank. The route is easy to walk and provides views of the water and architecture.

The Neckarfront is best seen from the Eberhardsbrücke and the Platanenallee on the Neckarinsel opposite, not from the riverside path itself. The row continues upriver past the Hölderlinturm with the Alte Burse, the Tübinger Stift and the houses along the Neckarhalde, all overlooked by Hohentübingen Castle.
