It might be tough to find a city in Germany that doesn't have a university, and German universities are usually named after the city where they're located. My first thought was either Bamberg or Dusseldorf because they're colorful places with lots of local character, but they both have universities. The best I could come up with is Kulmbach, a city with a castle but no university. But it's more like 100 mi. from Frankfurt or Stuttgart.

My sense of humor this morning is half tempted to put the uni -- by whatever name -- on the shores of the scenic Fischgabelsee just to see how many people pick up on it. But I suppose I better not. -- Wes PS: BTW, if you don't do German, that's my own rough translation of "Spearfish Lake." Yeah, I know, bad inside joke, right?
