Bebenhausen

[1] Since 1974 it is a district of the city of Tübingen, its least populous one.

It is located 3 km north of Tübingen proper (about 5 km northeast of the city centre), in the southeastern part of the protected landscape of the Schönbuch, a dense forest.

Bebenhausen is famous for its monastery, Bebenhausen Abbey, founded in 1183 by Count Palatine Rudolph of Tübingen.

In the early 19th century the monastery became a hunting palace for the kings of Württemberg.

King William II of Württemberg lived there until his death in 1921, his wife Princess Charlotte of Schaumburg-Lippe until her death in 1946.
