The Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe (abbreviated: Technische Hochschule OWL or TH OWL , English: OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts ) is a university of applied sciences in Ostwestfalen-Lippe in north-eastern North Rhine-Westphalia based in Lemgo . Other locations are in Detmold and Höxter . Around 6600 students are looked after by 173 professors and around 550 other employees in research, teaching and administration.
For several years the university has been one of the ten most research-intensive universities of applied sciences in Germany. Due to her research performance, she was accepted into the European University Association in 2010 .
Locations
Historically, the locations are distinguished as follows:
Lemgo ⊙ is the engineering focus of the OWL Technical University. The departments of media production , life science technologies , electrical engineering and technical informatics , mechanical engineering and mechatronics , production and economics as well as economics are housed on the newly created campus in Lüttfeld in the south of the city in 1971. Most of the courses at a location and the three research institutes of the university are located there. The university, the Fraunhofer Institute, the Centrum Industrial IT and the SmartFactoryOWL, the vocational colleges, various student residences and the Phoenix Contact Arena form the Innovation Campus Lemgo (innovation pronounced in English).
Detmold ⊙ houses the Detmold School of Architecture and Interior Design and Civil Engineering and thus shows a clear focus on the building industry. The departments are housed in the buildings of the former Emilien barracks (barracks III of the city). In addition to the old barracks, there has been another institute and laboratory building designed by professors, employees and students since 2008.
Höxter ⊙ focuses on environmental engineering and applied computer science as well as landscape architecture and environmental planning on technical, environment-related and landscape-shaping topics. It is also possible to study applied informatics with a major in business informatics / operational IT systems.
history
As early as 1891 there was a technical center in Lemgo, where one could also study electrical engineering.
As a successor institution there was an engineering school in Lemgo in the 1920s and 1930s , which was closed in 1938 because most of the students and lecturers switched to the Wehrmacht. In the course of the establishment of state engineering schools, the "State Engineering School for Mechanical Engineering Lemgo" started operations on October 1, 1964 with 36 mechanical engineering students. This state engineering school was supposed to replace the private engineering school Lage . They were initially accommodated in the Lindenhaus and in the school on Echternstrasse. The second department was set up on October 1, 1965, the mechanical engineering production technology department, today department 7 “Production and Economics” and on April 1, 1966 as the third department “general electrical engineering”, today department 5 “electrical engineering and computer engineering” “The State Engineering School for Mechanical Engineering Lemgo with its three departments then became part of the“ Lippe University of Applied Sciences ”, which was founded on August 1, 1971 and is based in Lemgo.
In the course of the university reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia and the associated abolition of the comprehensive universities , the Höxter department of the University of Paderborn became part of the University of Lippe on January 1, 2002, which has since been called the "University of Applied Sciences Lippe and Höxter" (FH LuH) and three Locations had: Lemgo, Detmold and Höxter. In 2007, the Senate decided to rename it to “Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe ” with effect from January 1, 2008. This was justified with the breadth of the courses on offer and the fading specialization as well as a commitment to the region.
As part of the expansion of the universities of applied sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia , the Warburg ⊙ study location was established in 2009 .
After this model fell short of expectations, a new course was started in the 2014/15 winter semester. The admission-free course “Business Administration for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises” can be completed entirely in Warburg. In October 2018, the OWL University announced that it would close the Warburg study site in 2020.
In September 2018 it was announced that the OWL University will be called Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe from April 2019 .

research
Profile areas
At the OWL Technical University, research is carried out in various areas, particularly in the field of information technology in networked technical systems ( industrial IT ) and food safety . These two profile areas were funded by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia as competence platforms. From these competence platforms, the Institute for Industrial Information Technology (inIT for short) emerged at the end of 2006 and the first research institute for food technology in North Rhine-Westphalia (ILT.NRW for short) at the beginning of 2011. In 2017 the third institute Future Energy - Institute for Energy Research of the university was founded.
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering at the OWL Technical University is one of the most research-intensive departments at German universities and technical colleges.
Thanks to third-party funding , which is often based on cooperation with companies in the region, some professorships at the university have a large staff of academic staff, some of whom can otherwise be found at universities.
Fraunhofer Institute
The Fraunhofer IOSB-INA was founded on the Lemgo campus at the beginning of October 2009 . At the beginning of 2012, it was expanded to become the first Fraunhofer application center in cooperation with a university of applied sciences in Germany and, following a successful evaluation, upgraded to a branch of the institute for industrial automation in 2017.
Technology and knowledge transfer
Based on its research strength in the profile areas, the OWL University of Applied Sciences sees itself as a partner to business and society. Together with other actors from science and industry, special infrastructures for research and research-based technology and knowledge transfer have been created on the campus in Lemgo in recent years.
Center Industrial IT (CIIT)
As part of a public-private partnership , the Industrial IT Center (CIIT) was established on the Lemgo Innovation Campus in 2010 . The CIIT is an independent research and transfer center that aims to make information and communication technologies usable for intelligent automation. To this end, companies and research institutions work under one roof in the company CIIT eV The CIIT with the university institute inIT and the Fraunhofer IOSB-INA forms one of the three regional performance centers of the technology network Intelligent Technical Systems Ostwestfalen-Lippe (its OWL) , which is in the third funding round Established at the beginning of 2012 as the BMBF top cluster.
SmartFactoryOWL
Together with Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the OWL University of Technology has been operating the SmartFactoryOWL research factory on the Lemgo campus since 2016. The aim of the facility is to establish a manufacturer-independent, real production environment as a research and demonstration center in the field of Industry 4.0 and Work 4.0. At the same time, a test field for medium-sized companies is being implemented.
Lemgo Digital IoT real-life laboratory
Fraunhofer IOSB-INA has been operating the Lemgo Digital real-life laboratory as a reference platform for the application of IoT technologies in medium- sized cities in cooperation with the OWL Technical University and other partners since the beginning of 2018 . For this purpose, the inner city of Lemgo is being expanded into a test and hands-on laboratory (English Living Lab ) for digitization on behalf of many other medium-sized cities . The goal is transferable innovations for mobility, retail and the environment. The participation of citizens and other users in the entire innovation process is an important goal of this initiative, which is financially supported by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
SmartFoodTechnologyOWL
The successful development in the field of ICT-based automation is to be continued through the merging of Industry 4.0 competencies and food technology know-how from the university and partners. In 2016, the university was able to assert itself as one of 10 universities of applied sciences in Germany with the "SmartFoodTechnologyOWL" strategy concept.
Innovation Campus Lemgo
In 2016, a new major project in the region was announced with the Innovation Campus Lemgo. The aim is to create a new ecosystem for the digital economy in Ostwestfalen-Lippe, which will network existing and new players throughout the innovation chain education - research - economy. To this end, the two vocational colleges Lüttfeld and Hanse, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA , the OWL Technical University, technology centers (such as SmartFactoryOWL) and innovation centers (such as Centrum Industrial IT ) will work closely together. With the Phoenix Contact Arena , a multifunctional event location is available on campus. Existing areas are to be upgraded, new places with a high quality of stay are to be created and further research institutions and companies are to be located.
On the Innovation Campus Lemgo, the Landesverband Lippe offers over 300 partially furnished apartments in several student residences . In 2013, further privately owned student residences with over 100 apartments were built on the Innovation Campus Lemgo. In 2018 a further 150 apartments were built on the Innovation Campus.
