Glass steles in the light of the campus

The transparenz stele on the IUB campus are visually restrained and have a luminous transparency. Made of glass and metal, they have a valuable effect within the architecture, with or without a visible base.

Jacobs University Bremen (formerly IUB International University Bremen) is a private, state-recognised university in Bremen. It offers study programmes in engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences with Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. degrees. With students from over 110 nations, the English-speaking campus university is one of the most international universities in Germany.

The university is located 17 km from the city centre of Bremen on an approximately 34-hectare site of the former Roland barracks in Bremen-Grohn. There are four colleges for 1,500 students, buildings for administration, teaching and research, an Information Resource Centre (IRC) with library and digital resources, sports, leisure and green areas as well as flats. 

The general planning and the planning of individual buildings was carried out by Böge Lindner Architekten from Hamburg and the landscape and green planning by the office WES (Wehberg und Partner) from Hamburg. In 2006, the planning of the central building was awarded the Bremen BDA Prize.
