The old auditorium at Münzgasse 30 in Tübingen is a cultural monument . The building was probably built in 1547 on the remains of two previous structures, the older of which was built in 1477 and the younger which burned down in 1534. The building served as the main building of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen until the New Aula was completed in 1845.

On the occasion of the upcoming anniversary - 300 years of the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen 1477–1777 - the 200-year-old building was fundamentally rebuilt and expanded by the court architect Reinhard Ferdinand Heinrich Fischer on behalf of Duke Karl Eugen von Württemberg . The newly designed building, the Aula Nova , was the Duke's gift to his university for the anniversary celebration.

The side of the building facing Münzgasse was designed to be representative. It bears the ducal emblems in a gable triangle in front of the mansard roof of the facade . At times, the old auditorium housed the Tübingen University Library . Today the building is a listed building and is still used by the university.
