University of Bonn

The University of Bonn is one of the largest universities in Germany. If you ask the locals how to get to it, you simply do not understand, because it is a complex of buildings, including faculties and research centers, forming a “city within the city”. The University of Bonn does not have its own campus, with a total of 370 buildings scattered throughout the city. The most impressive of these, of course, is the main building of the university, located in the heart of Bonn. It was built in 1697-1705 by the famous architect Enrico Tsucalli. Initially, it was the residence of the Cologne Elector Joseph Clemens.

In October 1818, Frederick William III, the great Prussian king, founded the University of Bonn, which quickly became popular. Today it includes religious, humanitarian, technical and economic faculties. In front of the main building of the University of Bonn is the Hofgarten - a huge park, a favorite place for students to meet, study and relax. Various political demonstrations are held there periodically.
