Das um 1875 erbaute, vom 2. Weltkrieg verschont gebliebene Gebäude E 3, 16 wird 1964 der Sitz der 1924 gegründeten „Freien Akademie Mannheim, Werkschule für freie und angewandte Kunst". Die Stadt kauft und renoviert das ehemalige Bankhaus und überlässt es der privaten Werkschule mietfrei. Diese kämpft bereits seit Jahren um ihre staatliche Anerkennung. Am 1. März 1967 erreicht sie dieses Ziel und ändert ihren Namen in „Werkkunstschule Mannheim". 1974 übernimmt die Stadt die Trägerschaft für die nun „Städtische Fachhochschule für Gestaltung" genannte Einrichtung. Im Sommersemester 1995 wird sie mit der ehemaligen Ingenieurschule zur staatlichen „Fachhochschule für Technik und Gestaltung" zusammengelegt und bezieht Gebäude auf dem seit den späten 1950er Jahren für die Ingenieurschule entstandenen Campus an der Paul-Wittsack-Straße. Seit 2006 lautet die offizielle Bezeichnung „Hochschule Mannheim". © Stadtarchiv Mannheim Institut Für Stadtgeschichte

In 1964, the building E 3, 16, which was built around 1875 and was spared from World War II, became the headquarters of the "Freie Akademie Mannheim, Werkschule für frei und angewandte Kunst" (Free Academy of Mannheim, School of Fine and Applied Arts), founded in 1924. The city bought and renovated the former bank building and gave it to the private Werkschule rent-free. The school had been fighting for state recognition for years. On March 1, 1967, it achieved this goal and changed its name to Werkkunstschule Mannheim. In 1974, the city took over the sponsorship of the institution, now called the "Municipal University of Applied Sciences for Design". In the summer semester of 1995, it was merged with the former engineering school to form the state "University of
