City building of the Technical University of Bingen (former Rheinisches Technikum)

The Technical University of Bingen is a university of applied sciences in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate . It is the only university in Bingen am Rhein and the only one in the Mainz-Bingen district .

history

The Technical University of Bingen was founded in 1897 as a Rheinisches Technikum (for mechanical engineering and electrical engineering) by Hermann Hoepke . The good infrastructure and the scenic location at the confluence of the Rhine and Nahe rivers were decisive for the choice of location. Since then, students have been offered practical training in technical and natural science subjects.

The spectrum of the offer ranges from traditional engineering to modern information and communication technology to a wide range of biological and natural science courses. Dialogue and cooperation with companies, institutions and associations in the region ensure a strong practical relevance and the orientation of teaching to the requirements of industry and business.

In 1937 it was renamed the Bingen am Rhein Engineering School , and in 1964 the State Rhenish Engineering School . Since 1971, as the Bingen department , it was part of the Rhineland-Palatinate University of Applied Sciences , the Bad Kreuznach location (electrical engineering, process engineering and agriculture), and before that the agricultural engineering school was added. In 1973 the new field of environmental protection was introduced. In 1987 a new university campus was set up. At the same time, agriculture moved from Bad Kreuznach to Bingen.

In 1996 the university became independent as the Bingen University of Applied Sciences . In 2006 she switched all courses to Bachelor and Master degrees in accordance with the Bologna Process . On June 1, 2016, the Bingen University of Applied Sciences was renamed the Bingen University of Technology .

The Hermann Hoepke Institute (HHI) of the TH Bingen was opened on February 2, 2017. The new institute is intended as a connecting bracket to bundle application-related research activities in the fields of agriculture, the environment, energy, technology and IT. At the same time, the city building of the TH was renamed the Hermann Hoepke Technical Center in memory of the founder.
