The Fachhochschule der Luftwaffe (FHSLw) was a technical college of the Air Force of the Bundeswehr in Neubiberg , which existed from 1971 to 1975 and was founded in 1958 as a higher technical school for the Air Force .

history

The establishment of the Higher Technical School of the Air Force (HTSLw) took place in 1958 at the Faßberg air base in Lower Saxony . In May 1958, the school, with its mechanical engineering and electronics departments, moved to the Neubiberg Air Base near Munich. In 1966 the first new lecture hall buildings were inaugurated. In the same year, the state recognition as an engineering school by the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture (BStMUK) and the renaming of the training facility in the Technical Academy of the Air Force (TAkLw).

In the implementation of the Bavarian University of Applied Sciences Act (BayFHSG) of October 27, 1970, it was recognized as a private university of applied sciences on March 24, 1971 , which enabled the first business administration course to be taken up. On August 1, 1971, the name was changed to the Air Force University of Applied Sciences (FHSLw), and the inauguration took place on October 26, 1971. In 1973 the Luftwaffe advocated the future incorporation of the technical college into a comprehensive university. In 1974 the flight safety course moved to the Luftwaffe 50 weapons school in Fürstenfeldbruck.

In 1975, she was with the two colleges of the Army, one in Darmstadt and 2 in Munich , together with its 12,000 volumes comprehensive library (see Library of the University of the Bundeswehr Munich ) in the University of the Bundeswehr Munich integrated (HSBwM) in Neubiberg, the 1985 in the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich (UniBwM) was renamed.

Education

The mission of the Luftwaffe University of Applied Sciences was to train officers of the Air Force service and flying units of other branches of the armed forces to become technical officers .

Prerequisites for admission to the course were the Abitur or secondary school leaving certificate and completed vocational training in the field of electrical engineering / metal processing. The students graduated in six semesters in the fields of technology (specialization in mechanical engineering with a focus on aerospace technology and electrical engineering ) as an " engineer (grad.)" Or as a " business economist (grad.)".

After the integration of the universities of applied sciences of the Army and the Air Force into the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, the three faculties with university courses of civil engineering and electrical engineering (1), mechanical engineering (2) and business administration (3) were created there. The Munich Federal Armed Forces University was responsible for postgraduates (cf. “Dipl.-Ing. (FH)”) according to Art. 131 Para. 1 BayHSchG for graduates.
