What you can expect

Founded by Prince Elector Ruprecht I. in 1386, the “Ruperto Carola” is Germany’s oldest university and one of the most venerable education facilities in Europe. The tour conveys not only the university’s history but also provides an insight into student life. It takes you from the university library via the Peterskirche (St. Peter’s Church), the oldest church in Heidelberg, to the historical Studentenkarzer (Student Prison). Visit the place that once made people suffer! From 1778 to 1914, students were punished here “for trivial offences”. With a bit of luck you may also be able to visit the Alte Aula (Old Auditorium)!
