history
In 2003 the HSL Hamburg School of Logistics was established in the form of a public-private partnership between the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH) and the Kühne Foundation based in Schindellegi, Switzerland. One year later the "MBA course - full-time" began; In 2005 the full-time MBA program was accredited by ASIIN and in 2006 an “MBA course - part-time” was started. Also in 2006 a “First Summer School - Part-Time” began.
On October 1, 2007, the name was renamed and expanded to become the Kühne School of Logistics and Management at the TUHH as the Business School of the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH). The focus in research, teaching and further training was the area of logistics and its management , such as the implementation and management of transport logistics . With the renaming to the Kühne School of Logistics and Management , the establishment of two master’s courses and a research center began. In the same year, a master's degree in “International Industrial Engineering - Full-Time” began on the TUHH campus. In 2008, the part-time MBA program was accredited by ASIIN. A master's degree in “Logistics, Infrastructure and Mobility - Full-Time” also followed in 2008. On July 31, 2009, the Kühne School received an award for its innovative training concept in logistics from the “ 365 Landmarks in the Land of Ideas ” initiative. In addition, as part of the Professional Program , the Kühne School also offered part-time training courses, working groups and training courses for employees from the logistics sector. In addition to our own research activities, practice-oriented projects were supported and initiated in cooperation with companies.
In September 2010, the Kühne School of Logistics and Management was transformed into the Kühne Logistics University - Scientific University for Logistics and Management (KLU) , which received state recognition in the same year.
On September 13, 2013, the new campus and headquarters of the KLU in Hamburg's HafenCity was opened in the presence of the First Mayor Olaf Scholz . The building "Großer Grasbrook 15-17" served from 2003 to the end of 2012 as the headquarters of the software company SAP . A special feature of the building is the subsequently built-in Audimax , which is covered in gold .
