Description
The district borders
Waldhäuser Ost and
Schönblick/Winkelwiese to the east and the
university district to the south and west. In the north, the district extends to the
Goldersbach river.
The area consists mainly of housing built 1980s. Wanne is popular as a residential area because of its vicinity to the nature reserve, its elevation and southern exposure. It is also a popular location for people working at the ''Morgenstelle'', a large complex of university buildings on the opposite slope, and at the cluster of university hospitals south of the complex. However, Wanne lacks shops and is not well connected to the historic city center of Tübingen.
