Conference Site at University of Regensburg

About the University of Regensburg

The Brutalist architecture of the University of Regensburg campus—including the conference venue—has long divided opinion. A journalist from Die Zeit described it, entirely without irony or sarcasm, as the most beautiful university campus he had ever seen (Weisbrod, 2023). The online magazine VICE, by contrast, ranked it among Germany's least attractive campuses. Yet even VICE conceded that if you fail to appreciate the architecture, the problem may lie less with the buildings than with your intellectual capacities (VICE Staff, 2018). We therefore encourage participants to approach the campus with an open mind and to give either the architecture—or their intellect—a fair chance.

City of Regensburg 

Located on the banks of the Danube at the river's northernmost point, Regensburg is one of Europe's most remarkably preserved medieval cities. Founded by Emperor Marcus Aurelius in 179 CE, the city boasts more than 2,000 years of history and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006 in recognition of its exceptionally authentic medieval Old Town. Once a thriving trading center linking the Danube region with the wider Holy Roman Empire, Regensburg retains much of its historic character, from Roman remains and Gothic churches to its famous medieval tower houses. Today, the city's rich cultural heritage, vibrant university environment, and welcoming cafés and restaurants provide an ideal setting for scientific exchange and informal discussion.
