STIFTSKIRCHE - ST-GEORGES CHURCH

This late Gothic collegiate Church is famous for its steeple, immortalized by Hölderlin. He rushes into a pierced boom of needles and curved small pinnacles. The interior is pretty sober - it is a Protestant church. From the entrance to a three-vaulted porch, the magnificent stone jubé and the stained glass windows can be seen at the end of the nave. It has a very high starry vaults and in its enclave the graves of several counts of Wurtemberg, including Eberard im Bart, the founder of the university, died in 1496. The show of their recumbent in time suits is striking.
