This is a view down Bergstrasse, the street that my school is on. It is located in Neuenheim, a section of Heidelberg known for its huge estates. SIU used to be the home of a Chemistry professor/scientist from the University of Heidelberg and it has an interesting story about being financed by Soviets, sold to the bank, given to the church, and finally purchased by Schiller in the 1980s. These houses all have about thirty rooms and are very old and impressive.
