The architect Speeth, born in Mannheim, had been engaged by the Grand Duke of Tuscany to work in W\u00fcrzburg&#8217;s building authorities since 1807 and was commissioned to design important state buildings here thereafter. His works belong to the so-called <em>architecture of revolution<\/em>, a French variation of very plain and monumental classicism. The special tour focuses on two of Speeth&#8217;s main works in W\u00fcrzburg, the former guard-house at the Zeller Tor and the former jail building next to the church St. Burkard. What are the differences between Speeth&#8217;s architecture and other examples of classicism, such as the Spit\u00e4le?
