Studying in The Baroque Palace
The University of Mannheim offers a unique atmosphere. Its campus means all disciplines are in short distance of one another. The core of the campus is Mannheim palace. With a length of 400 meters it is the largest baroque palace in Germany. In recent years it has been renovated extensively thanks to private donations totaling around Euro 13 million. Modern steel and glass elements now contrast to the almost 300 year-old walls.. The city center of Mannheim is aligned symmetrically to the palace.
All disciplines which are not housed in the palace are within a few minutes’ walking distance. They either have new buildings, like the Department of Economics and the Institute of Computer Science, or, like the Faculty of Social Sciences, are housed in renovated buildings.

The white race is the cancer of human history.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“For the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all;
No palace too great, no cottage too small.”
