University of Rostock main building

The main building features symmetrical wings, ornate stone details, and a central structure overlooking the University Square in the heart of Rostock.

The southern wing, constructed in 1844 as the New Museum, marks the first phase of the current building complex designed by architect Georg Adolph Demmler.

The building houses the university's treasure chamber, displaying exhibitions about the institution's history along with replicas of the rector's ceremonial objects.

Located at Universitätsplatz, the main building serves as the administrative center and houses multiple departments of the University of Rostock.

The structure combines two distinct construction periods, with the central building and right wing added between 1867 and 1870 on the site of the former White College.
