Leipzig - University
The dominant feature in Augustusplatz in Leipzig is now the 34-story high-rise block (1973; 142.5 m/468ft high) occupied by the University, with a panoramic cafe at 110 m/360ft. The University church which formerly stood here was demolished after suffering heavy destruction during the war.
Incorporated in the lecture theater block is the Schinkeltor (by K. F. Schinkel and Ernst Rietschel, 1836), the entrance to the old University, the Augusteum.
