Evangelical Seminaries of Maulbronn and Blaubeuren, Protestant education centers in Maulbronn and Blaubeuren, Germany
Description
The Evangelical Seminaries of Maulbronn and Blaubeuren are two separate training centers that together form a significant Protestant educational system. Maulbronn features Gothic and Renaissance elements in its structure, while Blaubeuren was built later, and both locations house dormitory spaces, classrooms, and chapels for students.
