Campus Blinding (2009)

Blinding is an area in the Nordre Aker district of Oslo . It is mainly home to buildings belonging to the University of Oslo .

Location and name

Blind is located in the Nordre Aker district, which is in the north of Oslo. More precisely, the area lies between the urban areas of Ullevål, Marienlyst and Vinderen.

It is named after the Blinder gårdene , two courtyards, one of which has served as the seat of the Bishop of Oslo since 2000. The term blind people is probably derived from the Old Norse “blindarin”, which is made up of “blind” ( German : hidden, hidden) and “vin” (German: meadow).

history

Dormitory for the blind (2015)

Following a resolution by the Norwegian National Parliament in Storting , the University of Oslo bought a large part of the area in order to build buildings for the university there. From 1923 to 1925 the student residence Blinden studenterhjem was built in neoclassical style . This was captured by the Secret State Police (Gestapo) in 1941 and it was only used as a student residence again after the end of World War II. The building has been a listed building since 1997. The Pharmaceutical Institute was completed in 1932, the Institute of Astrophysics in 1934 and the Institute of Physics and Chemistry in 1935 . The university facilities were finally officially opened in 1936. As early as 1934, the area was linked by the Sognvannsbanen. In the 1960s, the campus was expanded due to a storting resolution from 1951.

The headquarters of the Meteorologisk Institute has been located in Blinder since 1940 , and meteorological measurements began as early as 1937.
