Wohnheim Kurze Straße 15 (Carl-Friedrich-Gauß-Heim)

Overview

In the early 1980s, the building – which was constructed around 1800 – was converted into student accommodation. It was renovated in 2021. Prior to that, it had housed the Göttingen Land Registry Office for a considerable period. As the famous mathematician C.-F. Gauss stayed there during his time at the University of Göttingen between 1808 and 1816, the house was named after him. The residential building, which has a total of 33 single rooms, is situated right on the edge of the pedestrian zone. In the small inner courtyard, you can relax whilst taking a break from your studies. Three times a week, you can visit the weekly market located in the immediate vicinity, and the city centre is right on your doorstep. The central campus and the main canteen are a ten-minute cycle ride away.
