The University Museum on the first floor of the Old University, which was built between 1712 and 1728, offers an exciting tour through the history of Germany's oldest university in three rooms.
The first room deals with the era of the Palatinate Electors from the founding of the university in 1386 to its transfer to Baden in 1803. The Romantic period and the establishment of modern natural sciences can be relived in the next room. The last room focuses on the events of the 20th century, e.g. the admission of women to university or the role of the university in the "Third Reich".
On request, visitors can be accompanied on their tour by an electronic guide. This provides information in both German and English.
