Warleberger Hof Palais

Construction of the palace began in 1616, commissioned by Christoph Martens, a ducal clerk for Frederick III of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf. Originally, the complex also included outbuildings and enjoyed privileges such as its own water supply. The preserved vaulted cellar dates from this early construction phase. The Hof received its current name in 1695 when Henning von Thienen auf Warleberg acquired the property. Its present appearance was shaped by Henning Bendix von Rumohr, who initiated renovations from 1765, including the sandstone portal, painted stucco ceilings, and wall murals on the ground floor. In 1839, the palace was sold to Kiel University for 6,000 Reichsthaler and was temporarily used for anatomy. In 1909, a road widening project led to the main facade being set back by five meters.
