The '''University of Hamburg''' ({{lang-de|Universität Hamburg}}, also referred to as '''UHH''') is a comprehensive [[university]] in [[Hamburg]], Germany. It was founded on 28 March 1919, having grown out of the previous ''General lecture system (Allgemeines Vorlesungswesen)'' and the ''Colonial Institute of Hamburg (Hamburgisches Kolonialinstitut)'' as well as the ''Akademic Gymnasium''. In spite of its relatively short history, six [[List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation#Other universities|Nobel Prize Winners]] and serials of scholars are affiliated to the university. University of Hamburg is the biggest research and education institution in [[Northern Germany]] and one of the most extensive universities in Germany. The main campus is located in the central district of [[Rotherbaum]], with affiliated institutes and research centres spread around the city state.
The institution is classified as one of the global top 200 universities by frequently cited ranking systems such as the [[Times Higher Education World University Rankings|Times Higher Education Ranking]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2017/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/name/hamburg/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats|title=World University Rankings|date=2016-08-17|newspaper=Times Higher Education (THE)|access-date=2017-02-08|language=en}}</ref>, the [[CWTS Leiden Ranking]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.leidenranking.com/ranking/2016/list|title=CWTS Leiden Ranking 2016|last=(CWTS)|first=Centre for Science and Technology Studies|website=CWTS Leiden Ranking 2016|language=en|access-date=2017-02-08}}</ref> and the [[College and university rankings#Center for World University Rankings|Center for World University Rankings]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cwur.org/2016.php|title=CWUR 2016 {{!}} Top 1000 Universities in the World|website=cwur.org|language=en|access-date=2017-02-08}}</ref>, placing it among the top 1% of global universities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cwur.org/about.php|title=About {{!}} CWUR {{!}} Center for World University Rankings|website=cwur.org|language=en|access-date=2017-02-08}}</ref>

==History==
===Founding of the university===
At the beginning of the 20th Century, wealthy individuals made several petitions to the Hamburg Senate and Parliament requesting the establishment of a university, however those were made to no avail. Although for a time, senator [[Werner von Melle]] supported the merger of existing institutions into one university, this plan failed because of the parliaments composition due to the effects of [[Prussian three-class franchise|class voting]]. Much of the establishment wanted to see Hamburg limited to its dominant role as a trading center and shunned both the costs of a university and the social demands of the professors that would have to be employed.
Progress was made however, since proponents of a university founded the ''Hamburg Science Foundation (Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung)'' in 1907 and the ''Hamburg Colonial Institute'' in 1908. The former institution supported the recruitment of scholars for the chairs of the General lecture system and funding of research cruises, and the latter was responsible for all education and research questions concerning overseas territories. In the same year, the citizenry approved a construction site on the Moorweide for the establishment of a lecture building, which opened in 1911 and later became the Main Building of the university. However, the plans for the foundation of the university itself had to be shelved, following the outbreak of the [[First World War]].
After the war, the first freely elected senate choose von Melle as mayor. He and [[Rudolf Ross]] made a push for education reform in Hamburg, and their law establishing the university and a [[Adult high school]] finally went through. On March 28, 1919 the University of Hamburg opened its gates. The number of full professorships in Hamburg was increased from 19 to 39. Both the Colonial Institute and the General Lecture system were absorbed into the university. The first faculties created by the university were Law and Political Science, Medicine, Philosophy and Natural Sciences.
===Weimar Republic and National Socialist era===
During the [[Weimar Republic]], the university quickly grew into importance. Several thousand students were continuously enrolled, and it drew scholars like Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy, [[Aby Warburg]] and [[Ernst Cassirer]] to Hamburg. The number of full professors had by 1931 grown to 75. Because many students were suffering due to the bad economic situation that prevailed in the early republic, the Hamburg Association of Student Aid was founded in 1922. Ernst Cassirer became principal of the university in 1929, one of the first Jewish scholars with that role in Germany.
The academic situation shifted quickly after the [[German election, March 1933|general election in March 1933]]. Already on May 1 of that year – the university held a ceremony to honor Adolf Hitler as its leader. Massive political influence by the Nazis followed, including the removal of books from the libraries and harassment against alleged enemies of the people. About fifty scientists, including Ernst Cassirer and [[William Stern (psychologist)|William Stern]], had to leave the university.
At least ten students working with the [[White Rose]] in Hamburg were suspected and arrested; four of them died in custody or were executed. In the foyer of the lecture hall a design by Fritz Fleer commemorative plate was taken in 1971 in memory of the four resistance fighters.
===In the Federal Republic of Germany===
[[File:Uni-hh-philo-turm.JPG|thumb|Uni-hh-philo-turm|thumb|Philosopher's Tower, built in 1962]]
After the [[Second World War]], the university was reopened in the winter of 1945 with 17,800 employees. Out of the 2,872 students who were enrolled at the University of Hamburg in the first postwar semester of 1945/46, 601 had been admitted at the Philosophical, 952 at the Medical and 812 to the Faculty of Law and Political Science. The smallest number joined the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences with 506 students in total. The first student association during this period was elected in 1946 under British supervision, and it formed the foundation of the [[AStA]] in 1947.
During the [[West Germany|West German era]], new departments were added to the university, most notably the Faculty of Theology as well as the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences in 1954. The late 1950s and early 1960s saw a lot of construction: the Auditorium and the Philosopher's Tower where inaugurated near the ''Von-Melle-Park'', while the Botanical Institute and Botanical Garden were relocated to Flottbeck. The university grew from 12,600 students in 1960 to 19,200 in 1970. A wave of protests during the [[Protests of 1968|student movements of 1968]] sparked a reform of the university structure, and in 1969 the faculties were dissolved in favor of more interdisciplinary departments. Student and staff involvement in the administration was also strengthened, and the office of ''Rektor'' abolished in favor of a university president. However, parts of the reform were later rescinded in 1979. Further construction in the 1970s also built up the remaining space on the main campus of [[Rotherbaum|Rotherbaum quarter]], with the ''Geomatikum'' building and the ''Wiwi-Bunker'' (named for its bunker-like architecture) being the distinctive addition for that decade. Since then, new properties were opened in other parts of Hamburg. Two newly constructed buildings were opened adjacent to the Main Building in 1998 and 2002, revitalizing the Moorweide area of the university.
In 2005, the ''Hamburg University of Economy and Politics'' was merged into the University of Hamburg by a political act that was opposed by both institutions. With the same act, the 17 departments were merged and restructured into six faculties. The university had also become used to regular cuts of its budget by the federal state of Hamburg. The implementation of the [[Bologna process]] was another major point of contention during that decade. [[Tuition fee]]s were introduced at 500 euros in 2006, but later reduced to 375 euros and fully abolished in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/mar/15/german-university-tuition-fees-abolished2 |title=German universities face funding fears as states scrap fees |publisher=[[The Guardian]] |date=2011-03-15 |accessdate=2013-11-18}}</ref>
==Campus==
Over 180 properties, scattered throughout the city, make up the University of Hamburg.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gebäudeinformationen|publisher=University of Hamburg|url=http://www.uni-hamburg.de/studieren-mit-behinderung/campus-zugaenglichkeit/gebaeudeinformationen.html|date=October 23, 2013|accessdate=November 30, 2013}}</ref> The Main Building stands on the Moorweide opposite [[Hamburg Dammtor station]], not far from the main campus at Von-Melle-Park. The State and University Library Hamburg, the [[Audimax (University of Hamburg)|Audimax (Auditorium)]] and several other teaching buildings are all located in that area. A second cluster of university buildings are grouped around Martin Luther King Square in the same quarter. The Geomatikum marks the western end of the campus, near [[Schlump (Hamburg U-Bahn station)|Schlump Metro Station]]. Several departments are located in other quarters: Physics is spread over branches at Jungiusstraße, [[Bergedorf]] (along with the [[Hamburg Observatory]]) and Bahrenfeld (with the world-renowned [[DESY]] and other facilities). Biology has locations in Flottbeck, while Computer sciences were moved to [[Stellingen]] in 1991. The medical school is located in the [[University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf|University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf]].
==Academics==
[[Image:Hamburg-university-2005-05.png|thumb|Main Building of the University]]
The annual recruitment of about 7,000 freshmen contributes to the current total of 41,000 students, out of which 6,000 graduate every year, including around 900 with a [[doctorate]]. Students can choose from 149 different majors which are offered by six faculties. With almost 700 professors engaged in teaching and research, the University of Hamburg is the largest in Hamburg. In addition, over 3,600 academic staff and 6,100 administrative and technical staff members are employed in the university.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zahlen und Fakten|publisher=University of Hamburg|url=http://www.uni-hamburg.de/uhh/fakten.html|date=July 2, 2013|accessdate=November 30, 2013}}</ref> The University of Hamburg supports seven Collaborative Research Centres (German: ''Sonderforschungsbereiche'') sponsored by the [[German Research Foundation]].

The '''University of Hamburg''' ({{lang-de|Universität Hamburg}}, also referred to as '''UHH''') is a comprehensive [[university]] in [[Hamburg]], Germany. It was founded on 28 March 1919, having grown out of the previous ''General lecture system (Allgemeines Vorlesungswesen)'' and the ''Colonial Institute of Hamburg (Hamburgisches Kolonialinstitut)'' as well as the ''Akademic Gymnasium''. In spite of its relatively short history, six [[List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation#Other universities|Nobel Prize Winners]] and serials of scholars are affiliated to the university. University of Hamburg is the biggest research and education institution in [[Northern Germany]] and one of the most extensive universities in Germany. The main campus is located in the central district of [[Rotherbaum]], with affiliated institutes and research centres spread around the city state.
The institution is classified as one of the global top 200 universities by frequently cited ranking systems such as the [[Times Higher Education World University Rankings|Times Higher Education Ranking]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2017/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/name/hamburg/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats|title=World University Rankings|date=2016-08-17|newspaper=Times Higher Education (THE)|access-date=2017-02-08|language=en}}</ref>, the [[CWTS Leiden Ranking]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.leidenranking.com/ranking/2016/list|title=CWTS Leiden Ranking 2016|last=(CWTS)|first=Centre for Science and Technology Studies|website=CWTS Leiden Ranking 2016|language=en|access-date=2017-02-08}}</ref> and the [[College and university rankings#Center for World University Rankings|Center for World University Rankings]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cwur.org/2016.php|title=CWUR 2016 {{!}} Top 1000 Universities in the World|website=cwur.org|language=en|access-date=2017-02-08}}</ref>, placing it among the top 1% of global universities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cwur.org/about.php|title=About {{!}} CWUR {{!}} Center for World University Rankings|website=cwur.org|language=en|access-date=2017-02-08}}</ref>

==History==
===Founding of the university===
At the beginning of the 20th Century, wealthy individuals made several petitions to the Hamburg Senate and Parliament requesting the establishment of a university, however those were made to no avail. Although for a time, senator [[Werner von Melle]] supported the merger of existing institutions into one university, this plan failed because of the parliaments composition due to the effects of [[Prussian three-class franchise|class voting]]. Much of the establishment wanted to see Hamburg limited to its dominant role as a trading center and shunned both the costs of a university and the social demands of the professors that would have to be employed.
Progress was made however, since proponents of a university founded the ''Hamburg Science Foundation (Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung)'' in 1907 and the ''Hamburg Colonial Institute'' in 1908. The former institution supported the recruitment of scholars for the chairs of the General lecture system and funding of research cruises, and the latter was responsible for all education and research questions concerning overseas territories. In the same year, the citizenry approved a construction site on the Moorweide for the establishment of a lecture building, which opened in 1911 and later became the Main Building of the university. However, the plans for the foundation of the university itself had to be shelved, following the outbreak of the [[First World War]].
After the war, the first freely elected senate choose von Melle as mayor. He and [[Rudolf Ross]] made a push for education reform in Hamburg, and their law establishing the university and a [[Adult high school]] finally went through. On March 28, 1919 the University of Hamburg opened its gates. The number of full professorships in Hamburg was increased from 19 to 39. Both the Colonial Institute and the General Lecture system were absorbed into the university. The first faculties created by the university were Law and Political Science, Medicine, Philosophy and Natural Sciences.
===Weimar Republic and National Socialist era===
During the [[Weimar Republic]], the university quickly grew into importance. Several thousand students were continuously enrolled, and it drew scholars like Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy, [[Aby Warburg]] and [[Ernst Cassirer]] to Hamburg. The number of full professors had by 1931 grown to 75. Because many students were suffering due to the bad economic situation that prevailed in the early republic, the Hamburg Association of Student Aid was founded in 1922. Ernst Cassirer became principal of the university in 1929, one of the first Jewish scholars with that role in Germany.
The academic situation shifted quickly after the [[German election, March 1933|general election in March 1933]]. Already on May 1 of that year – the university held a ceremony to honor Adolf Hitler as its leader. Massive political influence by the Nazis followed, including the removal of books from the libraries and harassment against alleged enemies of the people. About fifty scientists, including Ernst Cassirer and [[William Stern (psychologist)|William Stern]], had to leave the university.
At least ten students working with the [[White Rose]] in Hamburg were suspected and arrested; four of them died in custody or were executed. In the foyer of the lecture hall a design by Fritz Fleer commemorative plate was taken in 1971 in memory of the four resistance fighters.
===In the Federal Republic of Germany===
[[File:Uni-hh-philo-turm.JPG|thumb|Uni-hh-philo-turm|thumb|Philosopher's Tower, built in 1962]]
After the [[Second World War]], the university was reopened in the winter of 1945 with 17,800 employees. Out of the 2,872 students who were enrolled at the University of Hamburg in the first postwar semester of 1945/46, 601 had been admitted at the Philosophical, 952 at the Medical and 812 to the Faculty of Law and Political Science. The smallest number joined the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences with 506 students in total. The first student association during this period was elected in 1946 under British supervision, and it formed the foundation of the [[AStA]] in 1947.
During the [[West Germany|West German era]], new departments were added to the university, most notably the Faculty of Theology as well as the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences in 1954. The late 1950s and early 1960s saw a lot of construction: the Auditorium and the Philosopher's Tower where inaugurated near the ''Von-Melle-Park'', while the Botanical Institute and Botanical Garden were relocated to Flottbeck. The university grew from 12,600 students in 1960 to 19,200 in 1970. A wave of protests during the [[Protests of 1968|student movements of 1968]] sparked a reform of the university structure, and in 1969 the faculties were dissolved in favor of more interdisciplinary departments. Student and staff involvement in the administration was also strengthened, and the office of ''Rektor'' abolished in favor of a university president. However, parts of the reform were later rescinded in 1979. Further construction in the 1970s also built up the remaining space on the main campus of [[Rotherbaum|Rotherbaum quarter]], with the ''Geomatikum'' building and the ''Wiwi-Bunker'' (named for its bunker-like architecture) being the distinctive addition for that decade. Since then, new properties were opened in other parts of Hamburg. Two newly constructed buildings were opened adjacent to the Main Building in 1998 and 2002, revitalizing the Moorweide area of the university.
In 2005, the ''Hamburg University of Economy and Politics'' was merged into the University of Hamburg by a political act that was opposed by both institutions. With the same act, the 17 departments were merged and restructured into six faculties. The university had also become used to regular cuts of its budget by the federal state of Hamburg. The implementation of the [[Bologna process]] was another major point of contention during that decade. [[Tuition fee]]s were introduced at 500 euros in 2006, but later reduced to 375 euros and fully abolished in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/mar/15/german-university-tuition-fees-abolished2 |title=German universities face funding fears as states scrap fees |publisher=[[The Guardian]] |date=2011-03-15 |accessdate=2013-11-18}}</ref>
==Campus==
Over 180 properties, scattered throughout the city, make up the University of Hamburg.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gebäudeinformationen|publisher=University of Hamburg|url=http://www.uni-hamburg.de/studieren-mit-behinderung/campus-zugaenglichkeit/gebaeudeinformationen.html|date=October 23, 2013|accessdate=November 30, 2013}}</ref> The Main Building stands on the Moorweide opposite [[Hamburg Dammtor station]], not far from the main campus at Von-Melle-Park. The State and University Library Hamburg, the [[Audimax (University of Hamburg)|Audimax (Auditorium)]] and several other teaching buildings are all located in that area. A second cluster of university buildings are grouped around Martin Luther King Square in the same quarter. The Geomatikum marks the western end of the campus, near [[Schlump (Hamburg U-Bahn station)|Schlump Metro Station]]. Several departments are located in other quarters: Physics is spread over branches at Jungiusstraße, [[Bergedorf]] (along with the [[Hamburg Observatory]]) and Bahrenfeld (with the world-renowned [[DESY]] and other facilities). Biology has locations in Flottbeck, while Computer sciences were moved to [[Stellingen]] in 1991. The medical school is located in the [[University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf|University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf]].
==Academics==
[[Image:Hamburg-university-2005-05.png|thumb|Main Building of the University]]
The annual recruitment of about 7,000 freshmen contributes to the current total of 41,000 students, out of which 6,000 graduate every year, including around 900 with a [[doctorate]]. Students can choose from 149 different majors which are offered by six faculties. With almost 700 professors engaged in teaching and research, the University of Hamburg is the largest in Hamburg. In addition, over 3,600 academic staff and 6,100 administrative and technical staff members are employed in the university.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zahlen und Fakten|publisher=University of Hamburg|url=http://www.uni-hamburg.de/uhh/fakten.html|date=July 2, 2013|accessdate=November 30, 2013}}</ref> The University of Hamburg supports seven Collaborative Research Centres (German: ''Sonderforschungsbereiche'') sponsored by the [[German Research Foundation]].

In October 2012, the university chair decided not to participate in national or international rankings in the foreseable future, stating the administrative expenditures needed as a main reason. The small sample size used by many rankings and their methodology have also been criticised.<ref>{{cite web|title=Schotten dicht|publisher=[[Die Zeit]]|url=http://www.zeit.de/2012/40/Universitaet-Hamburg-Rankings/komplettansicht|date=October 12, 2013|accessdate=November 30, 2013}}</ref> However, University of Hamburg continues to be featured in major international rankings:
