Friedrichsbau, Cultural heritage monument on Hauptstrasse, Heidelberg, Germany
The Friedrichsbau features numerous statues on its facade, representing members of the Wittelsbach family and significant historical figures from German history.
Built between 1862 and 1863 under Wilhelm Waag's supervision, the building stands on the former site of a Dominican monastery acquired by Grand Duke Karl Friedrich.
The structure housed renowned physicists Hermann von Helmholtz and Gustav Robert Kirchhoff, who conducted research and resided within its walls during their careers.
The Psychological Institute of Heidelberg University operates in this three-wing building, which maintains its original classicist architectural elements throughout the interior.
The stone sculptures on the facade were replaced with replicas in 1900, while the original statues remain preserved inside the Friedrich's Wing.
