Campus:

Geschwister-Scholl-Platz Campus:

The architectural hub of LMU Munich is the historic main building in the heart of Munich, which provides a historical backdrop seamlessly integrated into the surrounding street scene. Today, it is used for seminars and lectures by many different colleges. Probably the most famous lecture halls are the Great Aula where the Bavarian state parliament convened back in 1946, and the Audimax, which seats 800 people. The White Rose Memorial in the hallway, where Hans Sophie Scholl was arrested, recalls the inspiring example of resistance to the Nazi regime by members of the student group that bears their names.

The vicinity, located between the English Garden, Schillingstraße and Kunisplatz, also includes departments representing different faculties, including Linguistics, Literary Studies, Social Sciences and Physics. LMU is located in the bohemian district of Schwabing, with easy access to the famous English Garden, Opera House, Pinakothek and of course the many cafés, bars and pubs in the area.

The University Library is located in the south wing of the main building. Its collection includes 5 million volumes, which are stored in the Central Repository and 13 other repositories. With 10.5 million titles in its catalog, the Bavarian State Library has an impressive collection of rare books and other documents (including maps, photo archives, and sketchbooks), as well as one of the largest manuscript collections in the world. Easy access to many of Munich's famous museums, including the Old and New Pinakothek, the Brandhorst Museum, the Glyptothek and the Museum of Egyptian Art, as well as archives such as the Bavarian Central State Archives, make it an ideal location for research and study.
