Its a 270.000 inhabitant town, full of buerocrats and technical male students.
Some people like it's low profile enchanting atmosphere.
The city is maintaining a high tech image and tries to attract small high tech companies especially in computer science. Given the small size of the city the cultural offerings are reasonable, yet their quality ranges from village theater to world class multimedia art. If you spent 2 weeks in Germany, don't visit it. Below you see the Schloss, left to the Schloss would be the German Constitutional Court, to the right of it is the university. Below that is the symbol of the university, Fridericiana, right behind the classical entry to the 170 year young engineering school.
