Hamlethaus, Heritage building in Collegienstraße, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.
The Hamlethaus stands at Collegienstraße 12, featuring a distinctive gable design that reflects traditional German architectural elements of its period.
First documented in 1504 for student legal lectures as 'borsen', the building transformed into 'Bursa Mercurii' in 1507 before becoming a bathhouse.
The building draws its name from Shakespeare's character Hamlet, who supposedly studied in Wittenberg according to local narratives.
The current structure, rebuilt in 1904, maintains the original architectural style and remains accessible to visitors exploring Wittenberg's historical district.
Some scholars connect the building's history to Christian II of Denmark rather than the fictional Hamlet character from Shakespeare's play.
