Guided Story

Take a look around, and you'll see the distinct Göttingen Convention Center, designed by Rainer Schnell. Since September 1, 1964, it has been a key feature of the city's landscape. Positioned directly opposite the Albanikirche, right at Albaniplatz, it captures the essence of functional architecture while connecting to the historical charm of the city's former fortifications.
