Building
The neo-baroque building housing the Senckenberg Museum was erected between 1904 and 1907 by the architect Ludwig Neher outside the city center of Frankfurt in the same area as the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which was founded in 1914. Neher also oversaw the construction of the Jügelhaus, a neo-baroque building for the Academy for Social and Commercial Sciences in 1906. The Jügelhaus was the main building of the Goethe University Frankfurt until 2012. The building is currently owned by the Senckenberg Nature Research Society and used as a research building.
