Campus Friedrich Streib

The Campus Friedrich Streib offers an impressive view of the historic old town of Coburg and the Fortress Coburg. Three quarters of our students are at this campus and study in the fields of natural sciences and engineering, social work and health as well as business administration. The university administration and the central administration have their headquarters here.

The first buildings on Campus Friedrich Streib were dedicated and opened on May 20, 1960; they were from the predecessor of the university, the State School of Construction. The first student dormitory was built in 1961.

In the following decades a modern university campus with lecture halls, seminar rooms, offices, laboratories and workshops developed. The campus currently includes five student dormitories with a total of 506 rooms and apartments.

In the coming years, the Campus Friedrich Streib will continue to develop. By 2021, the Free State of Bavaria will invest more than 60 million euros in an IT and Media Center, in laboratories and test benches, as well as in a parking deck and in the refurbishment of existing buildings.

How to get to Campus Friedrich Streib

By foot from the train station to the main campus at Friedrich-Streib-Straße

Take the pedestrian underpass to exit the train station at the rear. The steps at the end of the underpass lead you up to the sidewalk that runs parallel to the highway. Go straight until you reach the first road to the left (Rummental).

You have two options from here:

  • Option 1: Follow the road "Rummental" up the hill until you reach the crossing "Eisenacher Straße". Turn right here into "Eisenacher Straße", which leads into Friedrich-Streib-Straße after 150 m. From here you are on the premises of the university.

Here you can take the stairs to the left until you reach "Gabelsberger Straße". This leads to the university grounds. There you will find the rear entrance with the Brose auditorium (left) and the lecture halls (right).

How to get to Campus Design

By foot from the train station to Campus Design

Exit the train station through the front exit labeled “Innenstadt” (city center). Turn right and follow this street (Lossaustraße) for about 350 meters.  You will come to a three-way intersection; follow the intersecting street to the right and walk past (but not through) an underpass. As the street continues, it is called Sonntagsanger. Follow Sonntagsanger for ca. 750 meters and you will approach a large red brick bridge. Take the steps up the bridge, and from there you can see the large building with the words Hofbrauhaus Coburg on it. Continue to this building. This will take you around 20 minutes.

Kronach: Lucas-Cranach-Campus

The master's degree programs in Future Design and Autonomous Driving are based at the Lucas Cranach Campus in Kronach. Over the next few years, the Kronach district will be creating a modern campus here that will be open to several universities. Study programs from Hof University of Applied Sciences will also be located here.

The Lucas Cranach Campus is located in the heart of the city of Kronach. Over the next time, new teaching and working spaces, laboratories, a maker space, an indoor test track for autonomous driving and co-working spaces will be built here. In other words, everything that constitutes modern studying today. The student infrastructure is also taken care of. Everything is within walking distance from here: A beer garden, ice cream parlor and movie theater are just a two-minute walk away. And the Franconian Forest is ideal for mountain biking and hiking, cross-country skiing or camping.

The name of the campus comes from Lucas Cranach the Elder. He was a multi-entrepreneur - an Elon Musk of the Renaissance, so to speak - and worked as a painter, pharmacist, paper merchant, publisher, manufacturer of paints and mayor of Lutherstadt Wittenberg. In his Cranach workshop, he and his team produced countless paintings thanks to prefabricated templates and advanced division of labor. The Cranach workshop was thus - if you will - an early precursor of the co-working and maker spaces that will be created at the LCC. More info can be found on the Lucas Cranach Campus website.
