Augusteum, University building on Augustusplatz, Leipzig, Germany
The Augusteum serves as the main building of Leipzig University, featuring modern architecture while incorporating elements of its historical predecessor's facade.
The original Augusteum, built in 1836 with classical designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, underwent major renovations between 1892 and 1897 under architect Arwed Rossbach.
The building contains an 800-seat auditorium that hosts university ceremonies, academic lectures, and educational events throughout the academic year.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science occupies several floors of the building, which opened its doors to students in the summer semester of 2012.
The Schinkeltor, the only preserved architectural element from Karl Friedrich Schinkel in Leipzig, stands integrated into the new building as its entrance.
