context_page_description: Am Kupfergraben is the name of an almost 500-metre long street in the Berlin district Mitte of the district of the same name. It is located in the historic Dorotheenstadt district.
context_section_description: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel lived from 1819 to 1831 in the war-damaged house Am Kupfergraben 4a. A plaque commemorating Hegel is attached to the neighbouring house, Am Kupfergraben 5. By mistake, the number 5 is often mistaken for Hegel's house. This was the residence of the "Institute for Foreigners" of the Berlin University, which existed until 1945. In the GDR, the Institute for Musicology (Institut für Musikwissenschaft) of the Humboldt University of Berlin moved into the building. After a thorough renovation, the Department of Musicology (Seminar für Musikwissenschaft) has been located in number 5 again since 2003. In the years 1825/1826 the mathematician Niels Henrik Abel also lived in the house Am Kupfergraben 4a, where he spent a research-intensive period. In memory of Abel, a plaque has been attached to the new building which has been erected in the meantime since 2014.
