Burse zur Tulpe, University building in Halle (Saale), Germany.

Burse zur Tulpe is a substantial stone building with multiple floors, featuring architectural elements from its 1928 renovation by Julius Kallmeyer. The structure houses spacious rooms and halls adapted for various university functions today.

The Burse zur Tulpe was founded in 1843 as a Burse of the University of Halle-Wittenberg, not as a student residence. The building that later bore its name was the former Hotel garni "Zur Tulpe", which the university purchased in 1919. In 1928, on the initiative of Paul Menzer, architect Julius Kallmeyer expanded it into a modern student house.

The music room added in 1928 was decorated by Charles Crodel and Gerhard Marcks. Crodel's fresco-secco Improvisationen über Leben und Tod depicts the ages of life from Shakespeare's As You Like It and, for Goya's 1928 centenary, borrows elements from the Pinturas Negras. The room was destroyed in summer 1936 on the order of curator Berthold Maaß because its avant-garde design conflicted with Nazi cultural ideals.

The facility now serves as a university cafeteria and administrative center with spaces for academic conferences and student gatherings. Access may vary depending on ongoing university events and activities taking place inside.

The structure underwent transformation under Professor Paul Menzer's direction, gaining modern student facilities while preserving its historical architectural form. This deliberate blend of old and new was designed to honor the academic past while serving contemporary needs.
