The School Centre am Horn 

Carl Heinrich Ferdinand Streichhan, the leading building director in Weimar in the mid 19th century, erected a casern on the hill east of the Ilm from 1854 to 1859 in historical style; the building has a high artistic and architectural value and was later renamed the Weimar Acropolis because of its location towering above the city. The last soldiers – after 1945 Soviet and Russian – moved out of this building in 1993. After several years of renovation supported in part by the European Union, many departments of the school have been using the building with its modernly outfitted and sound-proof rooms since 2001. The name “School Centre” is an indicator that it is the largest building of The LISZT SCHOOL.

Wind players, percussionists, conductors, jazz musicians, musicologists and culture management students have their main place of education in this building. In addition, all lectures in music theory and musicology take place there. In the tower in the western wing one can find the departmental library for musicology. The School Archive / THURINGIAN REGIONAL MUSIC ARCHIVE is located on the ground floor. Opposite this building there are two student residence buildings, where students can feel at home.
