context_page_description: The Neckarinsel in Tübingen, Germany is an artificial, ⅔ mile long Neckar river island, which was created in the years 1910 and 1911 by branching off a parallel channel to regulate the water level of the Neckar river. It extends from the headland west of the Ammertal train bridge, the so-called Flatiron, to the Eberhard Bridge.
context_section_description: The eastern half of the island is covered by the Platanenallee (plane tree alley). In the western area is the so-called "Seufzerwäldchen" (sigh forest), which is traversed by some winding forest trails. West of the Avenue Bridge is still the so-called Hain, at the end of which, under the bridge of the Ammer Valley Railway, a small tunnel leads to the western end of the island, a plateau lined with railings at the so-called Spitz or Flatiron.   
  Sometimes illegal campfires and barbecue parties were organized, which the public order denied due risk of fire for the plane trees of the alley.
  The waterdepth of the Neckar in many places reaches the human knee only.
  Two monuments are located on the island: Silcher Memorial in the middle of the island and Wildermuth Memorial in the west.
