The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is a university in the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital Mainz . With around 32,000 students at around 100 institutes and clinics , it is one of the twenty largest universities in Germany.
Since a structural reform on September 1, 2010, the university has been divided into ten departments . JGU was named after the inventor of printing with movable type, Johannes Gutenberg . According to its own information, JGU is the only full university in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and the Technical University Darmstadt together form the Rhine-Main Universities (RMU).
history
1477-1823
The first University of Mainz goes back to the Archbishop of Mainz, Elector and Imperial Chancellor Adolf II of Nassau . The foundation of a university had to be approved by the Pope at that time and Adolf II had initiated a corresponding approval process during his tenure. Pope Sixtus IV approved the establishment of the university on November 23, 1476. However, the university was only opened in 1477 by Adolf's successor on the bishop's throne Diether von Isenburg . The first rector was Jakob Welder . Since the matriculation of the university has been lost, only Johannes Ugelheimer is known by name of the students enrolled in the first year , who received a certificate of enrollment in 1481.
In the early days, the Zum Algesheimer courtyard was the central building from 1477 , as the Senate meetings and doctorates took place here, as well as the university's internal celebrations. A little later a burse was set up for the lawyers in the courtyard of the Gutenberg . The followers of the Via Antiqua set up their own Burse in the courtyard of the Schenkenberg from 1482 . In addition to the philosophers, the medical faculty and the first holdings of the university library were also housed in the house. After the Jesuits arrived in 1562, the Hof zum Schenkenberg was the only building for teaching until the new Domus Universitatis was built . This took place from 1615 to 1618 under the direction of the Jesuits.
Elector and Archbishop Friedrich von Erthal (1719–1802) tried to reform the university. In order to improve the financial situation of the university, he dissolved the Mainz monasteries Altmünster , Reichklara and Kartause in 1781 and handed over the monastery property to the university. In 1790 there was the Mainz knot uprising when craftsmen provoked by the students attacked the students and the university's organs. In the turmoil after the establishment of the Mainz Republic in 1792 and its suppression by the Prussians, teaching gradually came to a standstill. In 1798 the university was officially closed under French rule. Only a grande école in the form of an École spéciale de médecine should be retained. Until 1823, lectures were held in the medical faculty.
(Re) establishment in 1946
The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, which exists today, was founded in 1946 by the French occupying forces. Raymond Schmittlein , head of the culture and education department of the French military government, was one of the main operators of this re-establishment. The continuity of the University of Mainz was implied by the decree of the French military government on March 1st: the university was "authorized to resume its activities". The first university buildings were the remains of an air force barracks , which are still in use today , and which were built in 1938 after the remilitarization of the Rhineland during the Nazi era . On May 15, 1946, the university, now called "Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz", began teaching under the motto "Ut omnes unum sint - that all are one" ( Joh 17.21 EU ).
The Philosophical-Theological University Mainz, founded in 1877, was incorporated into the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz , becoming its Catholic Theological Faculty .
Question of continuity
The continuity between the Alter Universität and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is disputed because of the interruption in teaching for over 100 years. The general administrator of the French military government in Baden-Baden established the controversial continuity of the University of Mainz with the founding deed, in which the resumption of activity is expressly permitted . The main reason for the continuity is that the old university was never formally dissolved and because the Mainz University Fund, founded in 1781, was always recognized by the state as a university asset. The Mainz University Fund Foundation, whose proceeds flow in full to the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, still includes apartments, houses and heritable building rights as well as 850 hectares of agricultural land in the form of arable land and vineyards. This makes the foundation one of the most important large landowners in Rhineland-Palatinate. Only the seminary and a midwifery college existed until the reopening.
After 1946
In 1950 the Research Institute for Economic Policy was founded. Since the university reopened, Fritz Straßmann has devoted himself to building up the Institute for Chemistry and the MPI for Chemistry , which arose from the move of the former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry in Berlin to Mainz. In 1956 the MPI for Chemistry was inaugurated by Otto Hahn . In 1967 Otto Hahn commissioned the Mainz research reactor , which serves as a research neutron source. In 1972 the effect of the student protests in 1968 was also reflected in the structure of the University of Mainz. The faculties were abolished and the university was divided into departments. In 1973, as part of the university reform and the reorganization of the university into departments, the foreign and interpreting institute in Germersheim and the university institutes for art, music and physical exercise were incorporated into the university.
In 1974, Peter Schneider was finally elected as the first president of the university, which was now organized as a “group university”. In 1979, the first stage of the electron accelerator MAMI ( Mainz Microtron ) was put into operation at the Institute for Nuclear Physics, after a decision had been made to develop such a racetrack microtron on the university campus four years earlier . In 1990 stage B of the electron accelerator MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) was put into operation after ten years of conversion and development. In 1990 Jürgen Zöllner became President, but he stayed in office for only one year and then became Minister for Science and Further Education of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate . As the SPD's coordinator for university policy, the professor on leave from the Institute for Physiological Chemistry played a crucial role in the SPD's university policy and in the development of student accounts . In 2002, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz was recognized as a "Best Practice University" by the Center for University Development (CHE) for its special reform results.
In 2004, the university hit the headlines for the European and American Mars Express / Beagle 2 and Opportunity / Spirit missions , as two of the most important analysis devices on board came from Mainz. The APXS ( Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer ) was from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz on the campus of the University and the MIMOS II (Miniaturized Mössbauer - Spectrometer ) developed University of Gutenberg, Johannes. Since a structural reform on January 1, 2005, the university has been organized into eleven departments. In 2006, as part of the 1960 anniversary celebrations for the reopening of the university, gold doctoral certificates were awarded for the first time to the doctoral candidates still alive between 1947 and 1956. The very first doctoral candidate was a zoologist who did her doctorate under Wolfgang von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff . Furthermore, the current fourth stage C of the electron accelerator MAMI (Mainz Microtron) was put into operation for experiments at the Institute for Nuclear Physics after several years of renovation and development.
The study accounts co-developed by Zöllner were introduced by the Ministry of Science and Further Education in the winter semester of 2004/2005. If the student account is overdrawn, flat-rate tuition fees of EUR 650 per overdrawn semester will apply during the transition period . The study accounts allow a free first degree within 1.75 times the standard period of study . In a second step, the accounts will in future be debited according to actually "used" study times. It is still controversial whether the enormous administrative effort actually leads to an improvement in study conditions. Measurable success, similar to the introduction of long-term tuition fees in other federal states, is the decline in nominally enrolled students. The decentralized organization of university teaching means that it is not possible to prove whether the measure actually means that less teaching performance is queried at the university, or whether, in the end, only file parts are removed from the files of the student secretariat. On March 1, 2012, the student accounts in Rhineland-Palatinate were abolished.
In June 2009 the Helmholtz Institute Mainz was founded as a joint project between the university and the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt.

particularities
Campus university
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is a campus university. Almost all institutes and facilities are housed on a former barracks site in the south-west of the city.
The university clinic and the Department of Translation, Linguistics and Cultural Studies, which was incorporated in 1973 and based in Germersheim (formerly the Germersheim International and Interpreting Institute), are located outside the campus . Various smaller institutes and facilities are located off campus for different reasons. The journalistic seminar is located in the “old university” next to the Mainz theater . The Institute for Prehistory and Early History is housed with the library in a historic building on Schillerplatz . The courses in film studies and media dramaturgy, as well as the practical media events for journalism, but also the television project CampusTV are not housed on campus, but with a video library and library in the media house in Wallstrasse. Since 2009, the Institute for Psychology has been located together with the Outpatient Clinic for Psychotherapy in a building complex on Binger Strasse or Wallstrasse. The former student skyscraper Inter 1 was famous .
The MAMI electron accelerator and the Mainz research reactor , the botanical garden and a sports stadium and indoor swimming pool are also located on the university premises . The integration of the music academy , the art academy and sports in one university is unique in the federal German university landscape . This also includes the integration of Catholic theology and Protestant theology in one subject area, but the two subjects form largely independent “ faculties ”.
In addition to the university, the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research are also located on campus. A campus of the Mainz University of Applied Sciences is located in the immediate vicinity of the university campus .
Libraries
The University of Mainz has a central library, nine departmental or cross-departmental departmental libraries as well as about 30 departmental (sub) libraries as decentralized reference libraries and a women's library that is administered by the students themselves. The inventory currently comprises around 4 million media.
Supercomputer Mogon
In 2012 the supercomputer “Mogon I” was put into operation. With a performance of 287 TFlops , Mogon I was one of the most powerful computers in the world. At that time it was ranked 264th in the world and ranked 6th in Germany for the fastest computers. It is primarily used for the fields of physics, mathematics, biology, medicine and geosciences.
The “Mogon II” supercomputer, which went into operation in the summer of 2017, ranks first among the fastest university computers in Germany. Its computing power was used, among other things, during the COVID-19 pandemic to select promising drug candidates.
Collegium musicum
The Collegium musicum was founded at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in 1946 by the then director of the musicological institute, Arnold Schmitz . After that it was under the direction of Ernst Laaff until 1972 . The subsequent collaboration with Wolfram Wehnert , who took over the management in 1973 , lasted almost ten years . Joshard Daus headed the institute from 1985 to 2012 . Felix Koch took over the management in October 2012. The aim is to closely link artistic, musicological and educational aspects.
The two main symphonic ensembles are the UniChor Mainz and the UniOrchester Mainz. The Gutenberg Chamber Choir has been selected since 2013.

The Johannes Gutenberg Debating Club (DCJG) has existed at the university since 2002 . Today it is one of the largest and most successful German-speaking debating clubs. The DCJG managed to win the title of German champion three times and that of German runner-up four times. This makes it the most successful club at the German Debate Championship to date.
Electronic exams
The University of Mainz was one of the first universities in Germany to introduce the electronic exam ("E-exam") in 2004 and is considered a pioneer in this field nationwide. Meanwhile, 25% of all exams are written electronically.
International courses
At the Johannes Gutenberg University there are several international integrated courses of study in which at least one foreign degree is awarded in addition to the acquisition of a German degree. The main focus is on the binational Mainz-Dijon courses in the humanities and cultural sciences, the tri-national Master in European Studies and the participation of the University of Mainz in the joint degree program "Sociolinguistics and Multilingualism".
Notation
According to § 50 of the official regulation of the German spelling, the name of the university should be written with two hyphens: Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz . However, this university chose - in contrast to this - the spelling with just one hyphen: Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz . So it will u. a. also referred to in the Higher Education Act of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, § 1 (2).
