Emilie Sauer (born April 17, 1874 in Schnait ; † January 9, 1959 in Tübingen ) was the German landlady known as Aunt Emilie of the Tübingen restaurant named after her.

Aunt Emilie

On October 1, 1942, the 68-year-old was granted a lease permit for the former Wagner'sche Weinstube in Tübingen's Hirschgasse "with consideration for the war situation". This only had low taprooms, a narrow and primitively furnished kitchen and was known for the "bad smell from the toilet pit". It was therefore difficult to find a new tenant since the previous landlord Wilhelm Schnaith and his regular guests had moved to the "Bären".

During the Second World War, the butcher's daughter , who soon became known as Aunt Emilie, brought milk, cider and wine, liver, spread and black sausage from her home in Remstal and was even able to offer tobacco - probably thanks to her connections in Baden.

Torchlight procession

On the evening of July 25, 1951, the university and the city organized a torchlight procession for her, the first after the war and the only one for a woman, plus one who had never studied. Lord Mayor Wolfgang Mülberger , University Rector Helmut Thielicke and Tagblatt publisher Will Hanns Hebsacker shared the cost of a sedan chair in which Aunt Emilie was carried to the market square - followed by over 3000 Tübingen torchbearers.

First of all, Helmut Thielicke spoke at the market fountain, who named the “archetype of the Tübingen student mothers” as “Miss Tübingen”. All Tübingen student mothers should be symbolically honored in their person. Then the former philosophy professor and former vicar Theodor Haering “married” the student body to the city and promised each other eternal loyalty and love.
