The third university complex

Continuing south along Collegienstraße/corner of Schulstraße, the location of the Burse Lindholtzii (3), which was first mentioned in 1514 and was a residence where students lived under the supervision of Johann Lindholtz, the dean of the faculty of philosophy, we reach the third university complex at the Oderbrücke bridge.

The site where the high-rise building containing today's student accommodation stands was formerly the location of the Jurisische Collegium (faculty of law) (4). It consisted of the residence of the professor of the faculty, a building with a large auditorium located on the bank of the river Oder and the Concilien-Stube, a room where the professors met to discuss university matters.

Just a stone's throw away is Forststraße which used to be closed and guarded by the Fischertor gate and the three-storey high Fischerturm tower (5). The first university prison, mentioned as early as 1508, was located in this tower.

The Löwen-Apotheke (6), Frankfurt's oldest pharmacy is located at the intersection of Forststraße and Große Oderstraße. Originally this building consisted of two narrow houses inhabited by professors and originally owned by a medic called Knobloch and theologian called Cornerus. Professor v. d. Lith converted the two buildings into one in the late 17th century. Colourful late-Gothic vaults can still be seen inside the building.
