The Tübinger Stift is a study center of the Protestant regional church in Württemberg . Protestant students who are striving for a pastor's office in Württemberg or a teaching post at grammar schools in Baden-Württemberg receive a scholarship for 9 semesters in the form of meals, accommodation and academic support. It was founded in 1536 by Duke Ulrich in Tübingen in order to ensure the theological education of gifted regional children as Protestant pastors after the Reformation . In addition, based on the Lutheran faith in association with the university , the pen was intended to attract a spiritual and spiritual elite . Traditionally, great emphasis is placed on thorough philosophical , linguistic and church music training. Many important theologians, philosophers, writers and other scholars who had a great influence on the development of German and European intellectual history emerged from the monastery.

The line of the pen

"The leadership of the Evangelical Monastery is in the hands of the Board of Trustees, the Board of Trustees and the Ephorus." (Stiftsordnung CI1)

The relevant decision-making authority is incumbent on the board of trustees. It makes fundamental decisions relating to the scholarship, the study or house rules. The Board of Trustees approves the budget and is involved in filling vacancies. It usually meets twice in a semester. In addition to the four representatives of the Foundation Council ( Ephorus , Senior Repetent and two student representatives), it includes two representatives of the Upper Church Council, one representative of the regional synod and one representative of the Protestant theological faculty. The other members of the Board of Trustees and the elected representatives of the Board of Trustees of the two elders also take part in its meetings. The board of trustees deals with day-to-day business. It is made up of the Ephorus , the study inspector , the collegiate music director (voting rights only in music matters), the senior repeater , the consenior repeater and the two monastery elders. The theologian Eberhard Jüngel assumed the office of Ephorus of the Evangelical Monastery from 1987 to 2005 . Since 2005 the office has been held by Volker Henning Drecoll . The position of study inspector has been filled by Viola Schrenk since the winter semester 2017/18. Previously, Juliane Baur held the position ( Albrecht Haizmann was the predecessor until the summer semester 2007 ). The collegiate music director is Frank Oidtmann .

Student co-administration

The elders are elected for one semester by the general assembly of all students (forum). You are obliged to attend the weekly forum. The elders are also called "X (a)" and "Y (a)". "X (a)" and "Y (a)" are entitled to vote on both the board of trustees and the board of trustees of the Evangelical monastery. You represent the interests of the collegiate students in these committees with equal representation.

The forum also elects the monastery representative. In addition to the elders of the monastery, this includes seven other student representatives, the so-called "departments". The monastery representative manages the current business of the students and prepares or follows up the resolutions of the house's committees. The various "departments" of the monastery represent the following tasks:

  • "Department 1": Calculation and administration of the in-house services that each and every student has to perform, communication with the employees of the house and coordination of the room allocation
  • "Department 2": Communication and coordination with the student council , the IGWT (interest group of Württemberg theology students) and the Albrecht Bengel House
  • "Ressort 3": Arranging and organizing the monastery festivals, which have to take place 3 times per semester.
  • "Ressort 4": Creation of the ASB (autonomous semester report of the collegiate students)

The monastery representation (StV in abbey jargon) is supported by the so-called honorary offices, which take care of punting, sports items or the student library ("aesthetic library"), for example.

Quotes

“Anyone who wants to become something in the country must have been in the monastery. Whoever wants to become something outside the country must have been thrown out of the pen. Tertium non datur. "

- Wilhelm II. (Württemberg)

"One only has to pronounce the word Tübinger Stift to understand what German philosophy is basically - a deceitful theology ..."

- Friedrich Nietzsche

“What a pen repeater used to be! Each with the marshal's baton in his knapsack and all the highest heights of the spirit within reach. Hadn't David Friedrich Strauss and Friedrich Theodor Vischer, these repetitioners of Germania , been among them above all? And if, as history has taught, everything between heaven and earth could become out of an ordinary pen, how much more could a pen repeater? [...] A fact that the high self-confidence of the repeaters had at all times fully corresponded to, so that even a verse about Napoleon got around as a winged word: he gets the megalomania at the end / and thinks' he is pen repeater ... "

- Theodor Haering
