History of the Hochschulzentrum am Horn
Karl Heinrich Ferdinand Streichhan, chief building director in Weimar, built a modern barracks in the historical style and of high architectural value on the heights to the right of the Ilm River between 1854 and 1859, later called the "Weimar Acropolis" because of its location above the city. The last soldiers - Soviet or Russian since 1945 - moved out here in 1993. After several years of renovation with partial financing from the European Union, several study areas have been using the modern, soundproofed rooms ("room-in-room" situation) of what is now the Hochschulzentrum am Horn of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar since the end of 2001. The name signals that this is by far the largest building at the university.
Wind and percussion players, conductors, jazz musicians, musicologists and arts managers have their training facilities here. In addition, courses in music theory and musicology are held here for the entire university. The west tower houses the musicological library on four floors, while the university archive / Thuringian State Music Archive is located on the first floor. Opposite, two dormitories of the Studierendenwerk Thüringen (Thuringia Student Union) invite you to make yourself at home here.
