List of modern universities in Europe (1801–1945)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Humboldt University , founded in 1810, emphasized the priority of the scientific knowledge process and the freedom of research over practice-oriented vocational training and thus became the most important stimulus for modern university systems in the 19th century ( Photochrom from 1900).

The list of modern universities in Europe (1801–1945) includes all universities that were founded in Europe between the French Revolution and the end of the Second World War . Universities in the sense of this list are academic universities that have been recognized as universities by the responsible secular authorities or clerical bodies and that have awarded the doctoral degree in more than one faculty . Short-lived start-ups are also included.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the European universities were badly affected by the Napoleonic Wars and their number fell by sixty locations to 83 in the short period from 1789 to 1815. By 1840 there was an increase to 98 universities, with around 80,000 Students and 5,000 professors worked. Despite the trend towards vocational specialized universities - in France, for example, all universities had been dissolved and replaced by grandes écoles - the size of the student body and professorships multiplied to 600,000 and 32,000 members at around two hundred universities respectively over the next hundred years. In total, the era saw the operation of around 220 universities, which are listed below.
