Kiel - Cultural Center

(Local Name: Kulturzentrum) North of the Markt in Kiel is the former refectory (rebuilt in 1950 as a student residence) of a Franciscan friary, founded in 1241, which was the original site of the University. East of the Markt, on the shores of the Firth, we come to the town's Cultural Center, built on the foundations of the Schloss which was destroyed during the Second World War, with the Provincial Library, a concert hall, the Pomeranian Foundation (art gallery) and other amenities. Adjoining is the beautiful Schlossgarten. To the west, in the 17th C Warleberger Hof, is the Municipal Museum (Stadtmuseum; history of the town, satirical graphic art, applied art, photography).
