history
On April 17, 1961, the forerunner school of the Heilbronn State Engineering School was founded; Friedrich Aßmus was the founding director, previously director of the Furtwangen Engineering School . The first courses of study were precision engineering and mechanical engineering , the latter divided into the trains operating technology and construction . Teaching was initially held in rented rooms in the Heilbronn train station district, while administration was housed in the former Heilbronn cigar factory . Due to the rapid increase in the number of students from 50 (1961) to 260 (1963), the school soon ran into a lack of space; in the spring of 1964 it was spread over four locations throughout Heilbronn. In the same year the first 57 graduates finished their engineering studies. In autumn 1965, after a construction period of 2½ years, the engineering school moved to a new building on Max-Planck-Strasse in the south of Heilbronn, which was supposed to provide space for the 750 students planned at the time. In the summer semester of 1966, physical engineering was added as a fourth course. In 1969 the founding director Aßmus retired, his successor was Walter Hellerich.
After the establishment of the course in manufacturing business administration, the name changed in 1969 to State Engineering School and Higher Business School Heilbronn . In the summer semester of 1971, a second business administration course followed with transport management . With the Baden-Württemberg University of Applied Sciences Act, the Fachhochschule Heilbronn (later Fachhochschule Heilbronn - University of Technology and Economics ) became the Fachhochschule Heilbronn on October 1, 1971 . With the conversion to a university of applied sciences , the entry requirements for the course changed. The previous practical training through apprenticeship or a two-year internship was omitted, instead there were practical semesters during the course. The pre-requisite for the course was now the technical college entrance qualification .
In 1972, the first step in the establishment of a comprehensive university together with Heidelberg University was the establishment of the medical informatics course . The comprehensive university with 10,000 study places, which should be built in Heilbronn according to the university master plan II Baden-Württemberg , did not materialize, however.
From 1977 to 1989 Walter Dörr was rector of the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, who campaigned for an extension and for new departments such as tourism, electronics and viticulture, which led to the number of students at the former engineering school tripling during this time and the existence of the university for secured the future.
The university has had its current name since September 1, 2005.
In 2009 the Schwäbisch Hall campus was opened after a year of renovation.
In July 2011, construction work began on the new campus in Heilbronn city center on the former site of Heilbronnerversorgung GmbH (HVG). As early as the 2011/12 winter semester, some of the students and professors moved into a building previously used by the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University Mosbach. In October 2012, studies began in the new building of Heilbronn University and the campus was officially opened. In the following years, the education campus continued to grow: in autumn 2019, the North Education Campus was opened, which houses a cross-university library LIV and two other buildings of the Heilbronn University. Since then, in addition to the Faculty of International Business, the Faculty of Economics and Transport, as well as the Rectorate and Administration of the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences have been located on the education campus.
