Neue Universität, Cultural heritage monument in central Heidelberg, Germany.

The Neue Universität building features multiple lecture halls, seminar rooms, and a grand assembly hall within its neoclassical architecture design.

The construction of Neue Universität in 1931 received funding from American families through efforts led by former U.S. Ambassador Jacob Gould Schurman.

The entrance of Neue Universität displays a statue of Athena with an inscription dedicated to the spirit of learning and academic pursuit.

The building functions as the main educational facility within the Old Town campus, providing space for thousands of students and faculty members.

The adjacent Witches' Tower, originally a defensive structure and prison, now serves as a memorial to students who died in World War I.
