Campus walking tours

No matter whether the lawn in front of the mensa, the biotope garden, the library or the central building - studying is not all about lecture halls and seminar rooms. We have created a playlist with walking tours of some of the important spots on campus, so you can get to know it from home. Unfortunately, some of the videos are only available in German language but the shots might speak for themselves too.
