history
The university has its origins in the Association School for German Sciences ( 獨 逸 学 協会 学校 , Doitsu-gaku kyōkai gakkō ), which was founded in Tokyo in 1883 by Nishi Amane ( 西 周 , 1829–1897, philosopher and educator), Shinagawa Yajirō ( 品 川 弥 二郎 , 1843–1900, politician) and other scholars to introduce German culture to Japan. It was a middle school for boys, and in 1884 it founded advanced courses (technical school courses) for German law and political science. From 1885 to 1889 Georg Michaelis taught at the law school.
In 1895 the advanced courses were closed and the professors moved to the Imperial University . The middle school course lasted until 1947, when the club school was renamed Dokkyō Middle School. The name Dokkyo ( 獨協 ) is actually the short form by the Association for German Science ( 獨逸学協会 , doitsu-gaku Kyokai ), today the formation of body Dokkyo Gakuen (Dokkyo's governing body) is. In the few years after 1947 was Dokkyo but the short form of 獨立協和 (independence and cooperation), because the former bond with the German Reich was rejected.
In 1952 Teiyū Amano ( 天野 貞 祐 , 1884-1980) was the rector of the Dokkyō middle and high school. He was a graduate of the club school, a Kantian and former minister of education . He put an emphasis on moral education and saved the school. In 1964, the educational body established Dokkyō University, and Amano became the first president. The university initially had two faculties (foreign languages and economics). She added the faculties: Law (1967) and International Liberal Arts (2007).
Since 1968 there has been a student "German Entertainment Club" (DUK), which organizes an annual German-speaking speech competition.
The educational body founded sister universities : the Dokkyō Medical School ( 獨 協 医科大学 , Dokkyō ika daigaku , founded in 1973 in Mibu , Tochigi ) and Himeji Dokkyō University ( 姫 路 獨 協 大学 , Himeji Dokkyō daigaku , founded in 1987 in Himeji , Hyōgo ).
