The Audimax, or rather the old auditorium of the Georg August University of Göttingen, is located at Weender Landstrasse 2 in Göttingen, directly next to the Wall and adjacent to Heinz-Ehrhardt-Platz. Built by Friedrich Doeltz in the neo-Gothic style between 1862 and 1865 and opened in 1866, the auditorium (lecture hall building) was expanded with an annex in 1901 and 1902, thus becoming the "Auditorium Maximum." In addition to departments of the Institute of Legal History, it has housed the university's art collection since 1987. According to the website of the Department of Art History, the collection includes approximately 300 paintings, 2,500 drawings, 15,000 prints, and around 100 sculptures. In addition, there are around 150 works by video artists from all over the world. The collection's greatest treasures include works by Dürer, Botticelli, Rembrandt, and Goya, as well as modernists such as Nolde, Beckmann, and Modersohn-Becker.
