Juridicum

The Faculty of Law and Political Science of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University Bonn is located in the Juridicum. It is the site of the legal and political science specialist library.
Planning for the construction of the Juridicum began in 1957.
Before moving into the Juridicum, legal education took place, among other places, in the main building of the university at Hofgarten. However, the spatial possibilities there were limited. A strong increase in the number of students and further appointments created a shortage of space, so moving out of the main building or building the Juridicum was planned.
The building was constructed by the State Building Authority of the University of Bonn, with Heinrich Raderschall commissioned to design the gardens. The construction costs initially set at 6.5 million DM increased to about 18 million DM after the construction due to changes in planning. On October 11, 1963, the foundation stone for the construction of the Juridicum was laid at Adenauerallee. The document under the foundation stone states "Justitia fundamentum regnorum!", which translates to "Justice is the foundation of kingdoms".
