Main building RWTH Aachen

The Main Building of RWTH Aachen is a large structure on Templergraben street housing lecture halls, administrative offices, and research spaces. The facility features multiple specialized areas designed for teaching and research activities.

The building was designed by Ferdinand Robert Cremer and completed in 1865, establishing the university's physical foundation in Aachen. It became central to the institution's growth and expansion over the following decades.

Academic ceremonies and public lectures take place regularly within the building, shaping the rhythm of university life. Visitors can observe how various lectures and events define daily activities throughout the year.

The building is busiest during lecture periods when access to some areas may be restricted to students and staff. Finding information is easier near the central service points located throughout the structure.

The building features special Pick-Up points where students, faculty, and industry professionals meet to exchange knowledge and ideas. These intermediate spaces serve as important social meeting spots in daily university life.
