I made the trip over to meet the University President (here called a Rector) and saw this building on the way back. This is a very typical pre-war German building. Some have been nicely reconditioned and are displayed in bright colors, like this one, others are much in need of TLC (“tender-loving-care” for my Polish readers). One, just a block from my office, still had during my last visit, many bullets holes from the house-to-house combat that went through here with the Russians in 1945. (That building has just been reconditioned, so I will have to look elsewhere for a picture of that effect.)
