The new building provides roughly 3,900 m² of usable space, including seminar and student workrooms, a lecture hall, a library, and a cafeteria. The €40 million project received €31 million in funding through the federally and state-financed Higher Education Pact 2020 – Invest Phase III.
Inspire and connect
The Building L also hosts the TeachingLearningCenter (LLZ), offering over 300 interdisciplinary events annually in future skills, languages, continuing education and sports. The LLZ is open to all members of the university and fosters innovative teaching, academic development and cross-disciplinary exchange.
“This building symbolizes our university’s strength, creativity and agility. It shows our ability to complete major construction projects independently, overcome challenges and create inspiring spaces that – like waves – keep learning in motion,” says Prof. Dr. Eva Waller, President of Hochschule RheinMain. The new building will also reduce HSRM’s rented space in Wiesbaden, cutting costs.
Timon Gremmels, Hessian Minister for Science and Research, Arts and Culture, explains: “I am delighted that this building brings combines teaching, learning and exchange in a special way. It marks a new beginning for campus development at the Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus. With its modern library, flexible workspaces and open architecture – alongside the nearby student residence and daycare center – it will make the campus an attractive place for student life beyond classes. I sincerely thank everyone involved – from the university and the city of Wiesbaden to the planners and project teams. This building demonstrates what a contemporary study environment with innovative learning and teaching spaces can look like, making the university appealing to international students and strengthening Hesse’s global standing.”
“A modern and attractive teaching and learning building has been created at Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus for around €40 million, enhancing HSRM’ visibility in the state capital. I am very pleased about this, not only as a citizen of Wiesbaden, but also as a former lecturer,” said Prof. Dr. R. Alexander Lorz, Hessian Minister of Finance. “Hesse, together with the federal government, contributed €31 million through from the Higher Education Pact 2020. I warmly thank everyone who made this project possible.”
HSRM more visible in Wiesbaden
“The opening of the teaching and learning building is a milestone for Hochschule RheinMain and for Wiesbaden as an educational hub,” says Gert-Uwe Mende, Lord Mayor of Wiesbaden. “The new building strengthens the city as a university location and promotes innovation and networking. Forward-looking collaboration between the city, state and university has created an open space for teaching, research and exchange. Together with the nearby student residence with integrated daycare center, the campus is becoming more coonected to urban life and fostering a vibrant neighborhood.”
Comprehensive campus development
HSRM’s Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus in Wiesbaden is set to become a lively, compact campus. The Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Arts and Culture is providing a total of €120 million for Hochschule RheinMain’s structural development through 2031, via HEUREKA II and III.
In September 2025, Studierendenwerk Frankfurt am Main held a topping-out ceremony for the new student residence, which will house around 435 students from fall 2026. The building will also include a five-group childcare center with 80 places for children of students, university and Studierendenwerk staff, and the wider Wiesbaden community.
