Auditorium

The Auditorium is a university building in Göttingen featuring an impressive three-wing structure with Neo-Gothic architecture. The facades are composed of natural stone materials including sandstone, limestone, and tuff stone distributed across three stories.

Architect Friedrich Doeltz designed and built the structure between 1862 and 1865 as the university expanded its facilities. King George V of Hanover inaugurated it upon completion, marking an important moment in the institution's development.

The building hosts art exhibitions and collections that visitors can explore during the academic year. Its spaces serve regularly as venues for university celebrations and cultural events.

The building is located on Weender Landstraße and can be reached on foot from the city center. Visitors should note that access may vary depending on academic events, so checking ahead is advisable.

The facade displays statues and medallion portraits of famous scholars such as Leibniz and Carl Friedrich Gauss, created by sculptors Wilhelm Engelhard and Friedrich Küsthardt. These portraits serve as a visible connection to the university's intellectual heritage.
