The Botanical Garden of the University of Tübingen has been located on the Morgenstelle for the last 50 years.

The anniversary exhibition presents the complete history of the Botanical Garden in Tübingen, which is already several centuries old.

To the exhibtion

UDO – the first pedestrian

Danuvius guggenmosi – the upright walking ape from the Allgäu is presented to the public for the first time. By reconstructing the skeleton of the male individual Udo, the exhibition provides a close-up view of this internationally noticed finding, which questions previous hypotheses on the evolution of the upright gait.

Exhibition displayed from January 31, 2020 to May 31, 2020 in the Rittersaal, Hohentübingen Castle.
