Himbeerpalast, Administrative building in Erlangen, Germany.
The seven-story Himbeerpalast building features red brick construction and reinforced concrete elements, rising near the center of Erlangen.
Built between 1948 and 1953 by architect Hans Hertlein, the structure served as Siemens headquarters until its transfer to Friedrich-Alexander University in 2020.
The building's transformation from corporate offices to an educational center marks a significant change in Erlangen's institutional landscape.
The renovated complex will accommodate over 7,000 students and 1,000 staff members, housing the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology.
The name Himbeerpalast, meaning Raspberry Palace, derives from the distinctive red color of the building's rubble brick exterior.
