history
The Hohe Karlsschule , from 1781 the first university in the city, existed from 1770 to 1794. The forerunner of the University of Hohenheim was founded in 1818, the University of Stuttgart in 1829, the two universities cooperate in research and teaching.
The University of Hohenheim goes back to the agricultural teaching, experimental and model institute that was founded by King Wilhelm I of Württemberg on November 20, 1818, after the catastrophic crop failures in the year without summer 1816 led to a famine in the following year 1817. The first director of the institution was Johann Nepomuk Hubert von Schwerz . Even then, the school was affiliated with the estate management that had grown out of the Hohenheim state domain . The orphanage , which was renamed the Agricultural School Hohenheim , and since 1842 the Horticultural School , were also subordinate to the management of the institution . The latter was initially part of the academy and was spun off from the university in 1949.
In 1847 the institute was elevated to an agricultural academy by decree of Wilhelm I. The training focus was initially clearly in the agricultural sector; initially there were professorships for agriculture and forestry, technology, natural sciences, mathematics and physics. Agricultural chemistry and economics were added in 1854 and 1875. At the beginning of the 20th century there was a move to group the previously single chairs into institutes.
With the optimism of the founding of the German Empire in 1871, a new student awareness came to Hohenheim. The establishment of the "Academic Society Gemüthlichkeit" was followed by another 13 openings of student associations, in which almost all of the approximately 1000 Hohenheim students were organized around the turn of the century. However, the life of connections largely ended when the war began in 1914. Not all connections were reconstituted after the end of the war in 1918. In the time of National Socialism the connections were forbidden, the connection houses were expropriated and "comradeships" set up in Hohenheim. After the war, the newly reconstituted compounds could not regain their former importance.
On the basis of a submission by Chamber President John C. Funch to King Wilhelm II of Württemberg , the academy was renamed the Agricultural University of Hohenheim in 1904 , in 1918/19 the university was granted the right to award doctorates and postdoctoral qualifications, and in 1922 a rectorate constitution, which a Senate as the actual decision-making body of College faced a strong rector. When Margarete von Wrangell was appointed to the chair of plant nutrition in the following year, a woman was appointed full professor for the first time in Germany .
While Hohenheim only had around 100 students around 1848, the number of students had grown to over 1,000 in 1922. In 1934 the rector was appointed "Leader of the Agricultural University" and given even more rights - the Senate only had an advisory role. In 1946 the constitution of 1922 was reinstated and Adolf Münzinger was re-elected rector. The university had survived the bombings of World War II relatively well, so that rapid growth began after the war.
At the end of the 1950s, scientific specialization was so advanced that thought was given to expanding the university beyond pure agricultural science. In 1964, the biological education was expanded and two faculties (one for agricultural sciences, one for natural sciences) were founded. As a result, a number of natural science chairs were established. In December 1967 the university was renamed University of Hohenheim (Agricultural University) , the addition of brackets has since been dropped.
In 1968 the economics departments were spun off from the agricultural science faculty into a separate economics faculty. The Baden-Württemberg State University Act of 1968 and the University Act of 1978 reformed the university's administrative apparatus; it was now headed by a president who was elected for eight years. The former three became five faculties in 1978 (two each for natural and agricultural sciences and one for economics). As a result, the former Esslingen University of Applied Sciences was incorporated into the university.
With the new University Act in 2000, the rector's constitution was reintroduced. In 2002 Hans-Peter Liebig was elected Rector for a six-year term and was re-elected in 2008. In 2005 the university co-founded the university region of Tübingen-Hohenheim . The five faculties have been combined into three (agricultural, natural and economic and social sciences). In 2007, well over 6,000 students (including over 2,000 in economics) studied in Hohenheim, the number of university employees was 1,200, including 120 professors.
On December 16, 2011, the Hohenheim agricultural economist Stephan Dabbert was elected as the new rector of the university; he took up his post on April 1, 2012. He was re-elected on May 15, 2017 and his second six-year term began on April 1, 2018.
Infrastructure
The strong growth in the number of students made it impossible to accommodate the entire university in Hohenheim Palace. The biology center was built in 1973/76 , in 1985 a new canteen (with a capacity for 3,100 meals), in 1989 a technical center for food technology, in 1991 a building for plant breeding and a state plant breeding institute (the so-called Fruhwirthbau ), in 1987 four cavalier houses to accommodate humanities institutions, 1993 the building for third-party funded research and young scientists, 1994 the Euroforum (cultural events and language center of the university). In 1996 the ecology center (scientific facilities) was put into operation. In 2009 a new laboratory center was opened in Garbenstrasse.

particularities
The university has its own cemetery, which was approved in 1853. Since then, the university has been responsible for the administration and maintenance of the cemetery. The cemetery was expanded for the first time in 1887 and a second time in 1945 for the soldiers who died in the Hohenheim reserve hospital.
Former professors and well-earned Hohenheimers were buried here. The cemetery today consists of around 100 burial sites and an urn field made up of 15 stones. Today it is rarely used for funerals.
