The contrast between the young students and the monumental building in the style of the Italian High Renaissance is always fascinating. The "Museeum" literally comes to life and doesn't seem so sublime.
Life is raging here - if it weren't for Corona.

Constantin Uhde (1836-1905), together with Karl Körner (1838-1907), designed the construction of the Ducal Technical College Carolo Wilhelmina on the New Promenade, which has been called Pockelsstraße since 1905, as the successor building to Collegium Carolinum on the Bohlweg. The completion of the in the style of the Italian High Renaissance monumental building with about 100 meters long tracts, which are grouped around a courtyard of 52 meters side length, took place in 1877.
The two-storey main façade, executed in sandstone with large round arched windows, is furnished with an elaborately designed five-axis central risalit and weaker corner risalites. Here is the main entrance, which led to the originally decorated with groups of figures by Karl Echtermeier (1845-1910) entrance hall. After considerable destruction of the war in 1944, the building now has a simplified west wing and no south wing; the plastered north wing on the Schleinitzstraße is largely preserved.
