The Jugendstil Kollegiengebäude I, or KGI for short, was built in 1911 as the main building for the University of Freiburg. But that date is misleading because this prestigious public research university, now called Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in German, was founded during the late Middle Ages in 1457. Therefore, it’s one of Germany’s oldest universities and the first one to accept women in 1900.
