The castle and the Rantzaubau are situated on the site of the old castle of Kiel. The castle, which was destroyed during the war, was rebuilt in its current form between 1961 and 1965. Today there is a restaurant in the building with a viewing terrace and several concert halls. The adjoining palace garden was the first park in Kiel and is now divided by a traffic road.
The Kiel Campus is located in the centre of the city, directly at the Kiel Fjord. The 22 hectare large area offers about 1200 beds in 615 rooms. The hole area is 193.000 square metres large.
The old town hall of Kiel was built between 1907 and 1911 and is since then home of the urban administration. The art nouveau main front and the high, quadratic tower are forming the town’s landmark. Every hour a glockenspiel is playing in the 106 metre high tower, which is accessible by foot. The opera house is located in the direct neighbourhood. Today there is also a “new town hall” located in the Andreas-Gayk-Street 31.
The opera house was built between 1905 and 1909. After the destruction in 1944 it was rebuilt in a reduced form. In 1970/71 the north western cube formed Wing with black mirror glass was added on.
