== History ==

=== Background ===
The oldest of the founding institutions of the Munich University of Applied Sciences was the ''Staatsbauschule München''. Its predecessor institution, the ''Königliche Baugewerkschule'' in Munich, emerged from Hermann Mitterer's building trade lessons at the Munich holiday school from 1821. After its formal spin-off in April 1823 under Gustav Vorherr, it was the first training centre for building tradesmen in the German-speaking world. In contrast to the [[École polytechnique]] in Paris and the [[Berlin]] [[Bauakademie]], which already existed at this time, a modern building trade was taught here that was primarily orientated towards local requirements and also included the previously neglected rural areas.

In the wake of the [[German revolution of 1918–1919|November Revolution]], the name changed in 1918 to Staatliche Bauschule München, later Staatsbauschule. This was not associated with a structural change. Even before the [[Nazism|Nazis]] came to power, they massively attacked the management of the State Building School. In 1946, [[Max Stiehle]], who had been persecuted by the Nazis, was appointed director of the State Building School.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Startseite |url=https://hm.edu |access-date=2024-12-19 |website=Hochschule München |language=de-de}}</ref>

The Higher Technical College of the City of Munich dates back to 1924. It came under the management of the National Socialist [[Gebhard Ludwig Himmler|Gebhard Himmler]] in 1935. Disagreeable lecturers were sometimes formally dismissed or forced out, and there were also arrests. By the end of the war, many of the buildings of the predecessor institutes had been destroyed. Known as the ‘Engineering School of the Capital of the Movement’ during the National Socialist era, it was renamed the Oskar von Miller Polytechnic in 1946.

In 1956, the Bavarian state school inspectorate authorised a private technical school under the direction of [[Horst-Dietrich Bohne]]. From 1958, it was a higher technical college, where [[Computer|electronic computing]] was already included in the curriculum.

The Munich University of Applied Sciences (HM) (German: Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften München) is the largest university of applied sciences in Bavaria with about 17,800 students.

The Munich University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1971 by the amalgamation of seven colleges of technology and higher education, some of which date back to the early 19th century. Today it is the largest university of its kind in Bavaria and one of the largest in Germany.[citation needed]

HM collaborates with more than 200 partner universities in Europe, North and South America and Asia.[citation needed] International students make up 13% of the student body.[2]

History

Background

The oldest of the founding institutions of the Munich University of Applied Sciences was the Staatsbauschule München. Its predecessor institution, the Königliche Baugewerkschule in Munich, emerged from Hermann Mitterer's building trade lessons at the Munich holiday school from 1821. After its formal spin-off in April 1823 under Gustav Vorherr, it was the first training centre for building tradesmen in the German-speaking world. In contrast to the École polytechnique in Paris and the Berlin Bauakademie, which already existed at this time, a modern building trade was taught here that was primarily orientated towards local requirements and also included the previously neglected rural areas.

In the wake of the November Revolution, the name changed in 1918 to Staatliche Bauschule München, later Staatsbauschule. This was not associated with a structural change. Even before the Nazis came to power, they massively attacked the management of the State Building School. In 1946, Max Stiehle, who had been persecuted by the Nazis, was appointed director of the State Building School.[3]

The Higher Technical College of the City of Munich dates back to 1924. It came under the management of the National Socialist Gebhard Himmler in 1935. Disagreeable lecturers were sometimes formally dismissed or forced out, and there were also arrests. By the end of the war, many of the buildings of the predecessor institutes had been destroyed. Known as the ‘Engineering School of the Capital of the Movement’ during the National Socialist era, it was renamed the Oskar von Miller Polytechnic in 1946.

In 1956, the Bavarian state school inspectorate authorised a private technical school under the direction of Horst-Dietrich Bohne. From 1958, it was a higher technical college, where electronic computing was already included in the curriculum. It specialised in aircraft construction, automotive engineering and industrial engineering. The latter described the field of activity of industrial engineers. In 1967, the Higher Technical Colege was renamed the Bohne School of Engineering when it was taken over by a school association. The members of the Bohne Engineering School's flight technology group had aeroplanes at their disposal for flight instruction in Fürstenfeldbruck and Bad Tölz.

HM's predecessor institutions also included the Higher Technical School for Youth and Social Work (founded in 1919), the Department of Commercial Graphics at the Academy for the Graphic Arts (founded in 1907/1927), the Higher Technical School for Youth Leaders (founded in 1936) and the Higher Business School in Munich (founded in 1962).[4]

Fachhochschule München

The Munich University of Applied Sciences was founded on 1 August 1971 as a result of the newly introduced University of Applied Sciences Act as the successor to these engineering schools and some higher technical colleges. As was customary at the time, the existing training facilities were utilised:

  • the municipal Oskar-von-Miller Polytechnic
  • the Munich State Construction School, Academy for Construction Technology
  • the Munich Higher Business School
  • the Bohne Engineering School
  • the Higher Technical College for Youth and Social Work
  • the Higher Technical College for Social Pedagogy
  • the Department of Commercial Graphics at the Academy of Graphic Arts

were merged into one Fachhochschule.

In 2003, the photography programme of the State Academy of Photographic Design in Munich was incorporated into the Faculty of Design and in 2004 the academy was finally dissolved. Since 2007, the Munich University of Applied Sciences has been renamed several times:

In October 2007, it became the ‘Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften - FH München’, or ‘Munich University of Applied Sciences’ or ‘HM’ for short.[5]In 2011, the addition ‘Fachhochschule’ was cancelled and ‘Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften München’ was adopted as the name, although the legal status as a university of applied sciences was retained.[6]
