Göttingen is one of Germany's greatest university cities — a compact, lively and extraordinarily distinguished academic city in southern Lower Saxony whose Georg-August-Universität, founded in 1734, has produced 45 Nobel Prize winners, more than almost any other institution in the world. The long list includes Max Planck (quantum theory), Otto Hahn (nuclear fission), Werner Heisenberg (quantum mechanics), Max Born (quantum mechanics), Walther Nernst (thermochemistry), and in more recent times the string theorists and mathematicians who continue Göttingen's tradition of world-leading scientific research. The city is inseparable from the history of modern physics and mathematics.
Göttingen's old town is well-preserved and distinctly lively with the student character of a university city where students have outnumbered permanent residents for much of the city's history. The Gänseliesel fountain on the Marktplatz — a cast-iron sculpture of a young girl carrying geese, traditionally kissed by new doctoral graduates — is Göttingen's most beloved landmark and one of the most-kissed statues in the world. The historic city wall with its distinctive towers, the Altes Rathaus, and the remarkable collection of churches give the city a strong medieval townscape quality. The Hainberg forest on the city's southern edge is a significant natural area and popular walking destination.
Nobel Prize City: Göttingen's Georg-August-Universität has produced or hosted 45 Nobel Prize winners — one of the highest concentrations of laureates at any single institution globally. The university's contribution to modern physics and mathematics is unparalleled: quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and 20th-century mathematical foundations were largely shaped by Göttingen scholars. The university museum and the Max Planck Institute campus are accessible to visitors.
Gänseliesel Fountain Tradition: The Gänseliesel (Goose Girl) fountain on Göttingen's Marktplatz is the traditional site of doctoral celebrations — new PhD graduates must climb the fountain and kiss the statue after their examination, a tradition dating to the late 19th century. The Altes Rathaus behind the fountain and the surrounding medieval townscape make the Marktplatz one of the finest historic squares in Lower Saxony.
