Burse zur Tulpe, on the right the former hotel, on the left the extension from 1928

The Burse zur Tulpe in Halle (Saale) was a Burse of the University of Halle-Wittenberg founded in 1843 . The building named after her is the former hotel garni "Zur Tulpe", which was acquired by the university in 1919 and expanded into a modern student house in 1928 on the initiative of Paul Menzer by the architect Julius Kallmeyer.

Part of the extension building was the music room furnished by Charles Crodel and Gerhard Marcks , which was opened in the summer of 1936 at the direction of the curator Berthold Maaß (born 1884, curator of the university October 1935 - autumn 1938) together with the Secco in the gymnastics room of the university (today: Crodel -Halle) in the Moritzburg was destroyed because its avant-garde design contradicted the National Socialist cultural ideals.

Crodels wall painting in fresco-secco technique improvisations about life and death has been accessible again since 1993. His picture cycle depicts the ages according to William Shakespeare in As You Like It (II, 7) and takes up picture elements of the Pinturas Negras in 1928 for the centenary of Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) .

Today the building is used as the cafeteria and administrative headquarters of the university with traditional rooms for scientific conferences.
