The Burse is a building in the south of Tübingen's old town, slightly elevated above the Neckar. The original meaning of the institution can be read in detail in the article Burse. The Tübingen Burse was built between 1478 and 1482. Construction began only one year after the founding of the Eberhard Karls University. A significant part of the founding of the Tübingen Burse is due to the commitment of Eberhard im Bart's mother, Mechthild von der Pfalz. In the central beam of the entrance area of the Burse are carved the palm tree and Eberhard's motto in the beard: "Attempto", which are still the logo of the University of Tübingen today.
