What looks like a royal castle once was Germany‘s first Lutheran University.
It was founded in 1576 in the small town of near Brunswick after Martin Luther had sucessfully staged the Reformation.
For times this was the third largest University in the German Reich after Heidelberg and Prague.
When Napoleon conquered Germany he closed the University in 1810. Today the buildings serve as an outpost of Magdeburg University.
