Emmy Noether Campus
Emmy-Noether-Campus is the name that has been valid since 1995 for a building in the city of Siegen in southern North Rhine-Westphalia .
Originally used in the 1930s as a on-site hospital in the III. Battalion of the 57th Infantry Regiment on October 16, 1935 , the city of Siegen, which acted as a garrison town, experienced different phases of use over the decades.
Built for 3.5 million Reichsmarks below the sand dump of the Fischbacherberg, the building that characterizes the cityscape was initially used as a military hospital after its completion and commissioning in the last quarter of 1939 . Badly damaged in the war, it was converted into a hospital in 1946 at the instigation of the Evangelical Relief Organization in Bielefeld. Due to the financial outlay for modernizations and extensions estimated at the beginning of the 1960s in the order of magnitude of around five to six million marks, such measures were ultimately not carried out. Instead, with the laying of the foundation stone on April 4, 1962, the Jung-Stilling Hospital was rebuiltabove the Leimbach valley. The former military hospital remained in operation until 1966 as the location of the Jung Stilling Hospital. In the following years, it was used as a site administration and military administration school, before it was handed over to the University of Siegen in 1995 as an accommodation for the departments of physics and mathematics. Since then, the complex has been known as the Emmy Noether Campus . The mathematician Emmy Noether (1882–1935) acted as namesake .
