history

Robert Schmidt, founder of the Wismar Engineering Academy
Gate to the Holy Spirit Courtyard with the inscription Engineer Academy
Seal of the Wismar Engineering Academy

The university was founded as the Wismar Engineering Academy on May 9, 1908 with a contract between the seaside town of Wismar and the first director, the architect Robert Schmidt , who was in charge until his retirement in 1923. This makes it the oldest training facility for engineers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

The seat and school building of the initially private educational establishment was the now vacant courtyard house of the Holy Spirit Church . Classes began in September 1908 with the enrollment of 13 students, taught by Robert Schmidt and two other lecturers. The facility initially consisted of the mechanical engineering and civil engineering departments, followed by architecture, electrical engineering and mechanical and electrical engineering. Around half of the students at that time came to Wismar from Eastern and Northern Europe.

In 1922, the engineering academy became the property of the city of Wismar as the municipal polytechnic . In 1937 civil engineering was outsourced and the range of courses was expanded to include aircraft construction .

Between 1941 and 1945 there was a flight engineering working group with FAG Wismar at what was then the engineering school of the Seestadt Wismar .

The maritime sector in Warnemünde has a long tradition. It emerged from the Grand Ducal Navigation School founded in Wustrow (Fischland) in 1846 . Part of the training in Wustrow was taken over in 1954 by the Warnemünde School of Engineering for Shipbuilding Technology , and when the Warnemünde / Wustrow School of Engineering was founded in 1969, both institutions were merged. In 1989 the name was changed to the Warnemünde-Wustrow University of Seafaring . After the dissolution of the Maritime University in 1990, the legal takeover by the University of Rostock took place . The Wustrow university section was closed in 1992 at the end of the summer semester. In the same year, the maritime department became a new department at the University of Wismar .

The technical school for applied arts in Heiligendamm , which was founded in 1949 in Wismar as a work school for quality and form and officially opened on October 23, 1950, was also affiliated to the Wismar University of Applied Sciences in 1992 with the status of a department (design / interior architecture). The move from Wismar to Heiligendamm took place in 1953. In the summer of 2000 the department moved into a new building on the Wismar campus.

research

The University of Wismar has been active in the field of research and technology transfer for many years . There are offers for companies and public institutions as well as for members of the university. The research focuses in detail are computational engineering and mechatronics , IT systems and media as well as surface technology , building and planning, maritime transport , innovation and design of products and technological processes, renewable raw materials and teaching - learning.

In addition to these research priorities, which were underpinned by various projects and measures, the following research topics have established themselves in the research landscape: historical building renovation and modern building design, perception and consequences for design planning, e-learning , security in data transfer ( internet and intranet ) and artificial ones Intelligence . In addition, the development of machines and machine components, plastics technology and nanotechnology as well as international quality management systems and networks. In the future, they should be integrated into the main research areas and / or develop into independent areas of focus.

International cooperation

The university cooperates intensively with foreign universities in the field of research and training. In 2010 there were contacts to 117 partner universities from 45 countries around the world.

The partners in the education sector include:

In the maritime sector, the university has entered into a public-private partnership with the AIDA Academy , the center for training and further education of the world market leader for cruises Carnival Corporation & plc in the area of ​​the AIDA Cruises brand , or its Italian subsidiary Costa Crociere at the location of its branch in Rostock. Further cooperation partners are the NSB Niederelbe Schiffahrtsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG and the Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund Pilot Brotherhood .

As part of the Socrates or Erasmus program , student exchange programs are also carried out annually with the following institutions:

In 2009/10, 111 foreign students studied at the University of Wismar as part of the Erasmus program. At the same time, 31 students from the University of Wismar took part in an exchange with a foreign partner institution.
