University of Bamberg - Location

Location

thumb|ehemaliges Adelspalais, jetzt: Universitätsverwaltung: Studierenden-Service-Center The university buildings are mainly historical buildings which have been transformed for the university and which are located in the heart of Bamberg’s Old Town district. These buildings include the former Jesuit college (Theology), the former Hochzeitshaus (History), the old slaughterhouse (Earth Science), the former Bauhof (Communication Studies), and the former fire station (Oriental Studies). The departments of Languages and Literature are partly housed in buildings which once belonged to the Kaiser-Heinrich High School.

The Social Sciences and Economics department and the Business Information Technology and Applied Computer Science department, which accommodate a large proportion of the students, are to be found in the Feldkirchenstrasse buildings, which are not in the city center.

By the winter term of 2008/09, the University of Bamberg will be able to boast a third location. The site of the former ERBA cotton mill, which is situated on an island in the Regnitz, has already been acquired and plans are underway to create 300 student apartments in the existing red-brick building, while an adjoining new 14,000m2 building will cater to the needs of the streams of students who are expected in the future.
