One of the lesser known conspiracy theories states that Bielefeld University has the second highest suicide rate in academia (after Bochum University) because of the depressing look and atmosphere of the building, but administration tries to keep it secret. Another one claims, that the University’s architecture was originally intended to be used as a prison....

Not really. To be honest, I would not visit Bielefeld either. However, working at University you meet a lot of people from abroad.

Interestingly, people visiting Bielefeld often think it is a great way to start a conversation with locals. Having no intention of using it as a meme, but rather as a way of „breaking the ice“, not knowing that they will induce the complete opposite reaction.

As someone being born and living in Bielefeld I can assure you that every local is tired of it...
