The RWTH main building through the ages

Built in 1865 by architect Robert Ferdinand Cremer, the RWTH's main building is the university's founding site and is a listed building.

A small exhibition will explore the 160-year history of the building and its current use. A guided tour will focus on how complicated the balancing act between the transformation of the building and its listed status is. The tour starts at 11.00 a.m.

To ensure that a monument can continue to be used economically in the future, it must address the issues of the day, which include energy efficiency, climate neutrality and sustainability
