The Leuphana University of Lüneburg is a state university sponsored by a foundation under public law in Lüneburg in Lower Saxony . Her research focuses on education, culture, sustainability as well as management and entrepreneurship. In teaching, she has established a highly interdisciplinary study model that is unusual for Germany, with a college for the bachelor's degree, a graduate school for the combination of master's and doctoral studies and a professional school for continuing education.

The University of Lüneburg was originally founded as the Lüneburg University of Education in 1946 and, with around 10,000 students, is one of the medium-sized universities in Germany (as of winter semester 2018/19).

history

Foundation as a teacher training college

Founded in May 1946 as one of eight teacher training colleges in Lower Saxony for elementary school teacher training , the Lüneburg University of Education initially began with 150 students. The military government made the operation possible by evacuating the school in Grimm, which previously housed former prisoners of war. From 1946 on, shortened courses of study lasting four semesters were initially offered in order to be able to complete the training of new teachers as quickly as possible. From 1953 the course lasted six semesters and was very practice-oriented.

Conversion into a university

After a transition phase as the Lüneburg department of the Lower Saxony University of Education (PHN) - already with courses to become a qualified teacher and the right to award doctorates - the University of Education was converted in 1978 into an independent scientific university in Lüneburg with the right to habilitation . In May 1989 the university was renamed the University of Lüneburg .

After a sharp rise in the number of students in the 1980s, the move to today's central campus on the site of the former Scharnhorst barracks built in the mid-1930s began in the early 1990s . In the 1997/1998 winter semester, the conversion , which was unique in Germany at the time, was completed.

Conversion into a foundation university

On January 1, 2003, the State of Lower Saxony established the University of Lüneburg Foundation as a foundation under public law . The foundation is responsible for sponsoring the Leuphana University of Lüneburg as a public corporation . Since then, the university has not been directly sponsored by the state, but continues to be financed by state funds.

With the conversion into a foundation university, the then Lower Saxony state government wanted to grant the university more autonomy and responsibility as one of a total of five universities in Lower Saxony. The aim of the foundation is to increase the quality of research, teaching, study and further education at the university through independent and efficient use of the funds made available to it.

A seven-member board of trustees has since replaced the ministry. The Board of Trustees advises the university, makes decisions on matters of fundamental importance, monitors the activities of the Presidium and exercises legal supervision over the university.

Fusion between university and technical college

In accordance with the resolution of the Lower Saxony state government in 2004, the University of Lüneburg merged with the Northeast Lower Saxony University of Applied Sciences on January 1, 2005 . The new University of Lüneburg serves as a model university for implementing the Bologna Process . After the merger, in 2006 the university decided on a fundamental process of realignment and the introduction of a new study model with a college for bachelor students, a graduate school for masters and doctoral students and a professional school for further education. In addition, the previously existing faculties and departments were transferred to four new faculties for education, cultural studies, sustainability and economics.

Renaming to Leuphana University of Lüneburg

As a result of the merger and its fundamental reorientation, the University of Lüneburg was renamed Leuphana University of Lüneburg on March 20, 2007 .

The name Leuphana is derived from an ancient settlement on the Elbe, which is mentioned in the world atlas of the geographer Ptolemy from the 2nd century. It is disputed whether the place marked corresponds to today's Lüneburg or rather, according to recent research results, as a historical settlement to today's Hitzacker - approx. 45 km east of Lüneburg. As a name for the university, it was only selected by the university's committees in 2006, following a proposal by the advertising agency Scholz & Friends .

Since the start of the reorientation in 2006, the university's budget has increased by more than five million euros, while the number of applications per study place and the number of doctoral students have increased.

Studies and Schools

Courses at Leuphana are offered in three different schools, depending on the stage of study or life:

• Leuphana College is home to the undergraduate bachelor's degree.
• The Graduate School offers basic master’s programs and combines the master’s and doctoral studies.
• The Professional School is home to continuing education or part-time studies.

The courses offered at each school follow a largely interdisciplinary study model. In addition to the respective specialist course, an interdisciplinary complementary course is offered in all three schools.

Leuphana College (Bachelor's degree)

Leuphana College was opened in October 2007 by former US President Jimmy Carter. The study model at Leuphana College offers a combination of interdisciplinary study elements (Leuphana semester, complementary study) with a major and a minor (major and minor). The aim is a strongly interdisciplinary study in the sense of a Liberal Arts Education . Leuphana College has received several awards for its study model. With the Individuale course , Leuphana College also offers a bachelor’s degree, which enables students to develop an individual professional profile through largely free choice of courses.

Leuphana semester

The first semester, the so-called Leuphana semester, is completed by students at Leuphana College together in interdisciplinary seminars and courses. The focus is on interdisciplinary modules on scientific methods, scientific ethics and responsibility, as well as scientific theory and understanding, supplemented by subject-specific introductions and subject-specific methods. This should enable students to deal with scientific principles and basic questions. Courses come and a. from the fields of history, philosophy, mathematics, statistics, research methods and responsibility in society. The Leuphana semester comprises 5 modules with a total of 30 credit points (ECTS).

Major (main subjects)

In the first semester, students choose one of currently 13 main subjects as a major. Depending on personal interests and individual career planning, one of the currently 17 minor subjects can be added as a minor. An application is made for the major, the minor is usually freely selectable.

campus

The Leuphana University of Lüneburg now has three locations: the central campus on Universitätsallee, the Rotes Feld campus and the Volgershall campus.

Central campus

The central campus on Universitätsallee is determined by the brick barracks buildings from the late 1930s, the lecture halls and library buildings from the 1990s (architect: Carl Peter von Mansberg) and the university's new central building (architect: Daniel Libeskind ).

The media and information center with library, computer center and film studio, the engineering laboratories and machine hall, music practice rooms, art workshops and the Lüneburg art space, an event hall (Vamos), a children's day care center, the university sports studio, a sports hall, a sports field with a soccer field, basketball field , Beach volleyball field, sunbathing lawn and barbecue area as well as a biotope complement the facilities on campus. There is also the KonRad bicycle self-help workshop , the Elistu child care facility and the AStA's sound and light rental, as well as the PlanB as a free space for students. There are also several dormitories and a day care center run by the Studentenwerk on campus. The private association Campus e. V., which was originally founded by students at the university, operates a café, two student residences and a row of shops on campus. The local radio station ZuSa also has a studio on the university premises.

As part of the start week of 2010, a new exterior design for the main campus was determined. Drafts were submitted by six landscape architecture offices.

Central building with Audimax

The auditorium in the new central building

A new central building was built on the university's central campus between 2011 and 2017 . It was designed by Daniel Libeskind and, according to the university management, is a central component of future campus development. On December 19, 2007, the university management and the Lower Saxony Minister of Science presented the project and gave the go-ahead for further planning work.

The building in the typical Daniel Libeskind style (sloping, not right-angled and interlocking facades and rooms with slit-like windows and a shiny outer surface made of zinc) is the new landmark of the university with a height of 38 meters. In addition to a research center with space for over 200 workplaces, a student center with rooms for student workplaces and a cafeteria, a seminar center with around 15 seminar rooms, an Audimax with space for around 1,200 people is part of the building. The Audimax has a huge projection surface and diagonally crossed light slits.

The foundation stone for the building was laid on May 8, 2011. Construction actually started in 2012. The topping-out ceremony for the entire central building took place on January 19, 2015. At the end of January 2017, the building supervision approved the building for commissioning. It was officially opened on March 11, 2017. Further kick-off events were planned for the opening phase from March to October 2017.

According to initial drafts in 2007, the central building was initially planned with construction costs totaling 57.7 million euros. Since then, the construction costs have risen considerably and the university has so far given them over 100 million euros (as of the end of 2016). In the end, the total costs amount to just under 109.3 million euros. In addition to the state of Lower Saxony (around 35 million euros), the construction costs are u. a. borne by the European Union (around 14 million euros), the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (around 4 million euros), the city and district of Lüneburg (7 million euros), by private donors and through the sale of university properties. The initial substantial underestimation of costs sparked controversy over the construction of the central building. Above all, the student body and the state's financial supervisory authority saw the sum as disproportionately high.

Campus Rotes Feld

On the Rotes Feld campus there is a brick building from the imperial era, which was used for educational purposes at the beginning of the last century. Even though most of the university's operations now take place on the central campus, the Rotes Feld campus is still used for some courses and for offices by professors and psychology staff.

Volgershall campus

The engineering sciences of the Leuphana were previously located on the Volgershall campus. From mid-2019, the engineering sciences will have completely relocated to the central campus. The previous buildings of the university are to be used for a digital campus in the future. a. for settling in the area of ​​3D printing.

Campus life

Campus life at Leuphana is characterized by regular academic events: the start week to welcome the first-semester students at Leuphana College (October), the conference week to present the results of the students' work in the first Leuphana semester at Leuphana College (February), the graduation celebrations to see the graduates off (May and November) as well as the dies academicus with the awarding of honorary doctorates and the distinction of outstanding researchers, teachers and initiatives as the highlight at the end of the academic year (July).

In addition, around 80 different student initiatives on various social issues are currently organizing events and projects on campus that have been organized in the umbrella association of student initiatives (DSi).

The musical life at the Leuphana is u. a. shaped by four different ensembles: the university orchestra and the university choir, the Leuphana Big Band and the samba group Batucada Leuphana.

The art space of the University of Lüneburg regularly organizes internationally recognized art exhibitions.

Leuphana students have been organizing on the central Leuphana campus for years. a. the lunatic festival , a festival for music and art, and the Coraci festival against racism and exclusion.

Campus history

The current campus of the university, the former Scharnhorst barracks of the Wehrmacht and Bundeswehr , was built in 1935 and 1936 as one of three new barracks built in Lüneburg as part of the armament. All branches of arms were represented in the city: While the artillery was located in the older Lüner barracks, the cavalry in the Schlieffen barracks and the air force at the air base (today's Theodor Körner barracks), infantry divisions were set up in the Scharnhorst barracks , which at times - as in the attack on the Netherlands in May 1940 - were also used as airborne troops. The 110th Infantry Division , set up in the Scharnhorst barracks, was involved in the attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941 and in a serious war crime near the Belarusian town of Osaritschi in March 1944 .

After the fall of National Socialism and the end of World War II, the barracks was used by the German armed forces until the 1990s and converted into a university campus in the mid-1990s.

The art space of the Leuphana University of Lüneburg has dealt extensively with the structural history and development of the campus as part of a research project.

criticism

Criticism of the construction of the central building

Since the first planning for the new central building of Leuphana by the university management around President Sascha Spoun and Vice President Holm Keller , the project has long been controversial in terms of its necessity, dimensions, financing and use. The level of construction costs, the appointment of the architect Daniel Libeskind as a part-time professor at Leuphana, the planned but not yet implemented realization as part of a public-private partnership and the usefulness of the building were particularly criticized . The Lower Saxony State Audit Office and the Regional Finance Directorate estimate the construction costs at 94 million euros and up to 125 million euros, respectively. The university itself has so far been talking about construction costs of over 100 million euros. A final invoice is still not available.

Criticism of the election of full-time members of the executive committee for the 2012–2018 term

When the full-time members of the Presidium were re-elected for the period from 2012 to 2018, there was criticism in 2011 because the then full-time Vice President Holm Keller initially missed the required majority in the Senate's first ballot. University President Sascha Spoun made the re-election of Keller a condition for remaining at the university. In a second ballot, the Senate initially agreed to elect Holm Keller as Vice-President on a part-time basis. Keller would have been responsible for the acquisition of funds and projects, while another Vice President would have taken over the ongoing administrative business. To justify this compromise, the professor for sustainability communication and member of the Senate Gerd Michelsen said: “We absolutely wanted to keep Spoun because we didn't want to endanger the positive development. We were ready to accept the compromise proposed by the President ”. In 2012, a newly composed Senate re-elected Keller in a third ballot as full-time full-time Vice President.

Criticism of the full-time Vice President Holm Keller

The then full-time Vice President of the University of Holm Keller (term of office 2006 to 2016) has been criticized several times, in particular with his commitment to the university's new central building. For example, the Stade public prosecutor's office temporarily determined, based on an initial suspicion, that the university should have awarded contracts for the new construction of the central building to the architect Daniel Libeskind, in violation of public procurement law, without a tender. However, the public prosecutor's office could not find any indications of breach of trust or subsidy fraud in connection with the new construction of the central building of Leuphana. The investigation was discontinued without result.

Criticism of the Board of Trustees

In connection with the construction of the new central building , the then Minister of Education Gabriele Heinen-Kljajic reprimanded the Board of Trustees for not having sufficiently performed its supervisory duties on the increasingly expensive project. Former Professor Matthias von Saldern from Lüneburg was a member of the Board of Trustees for many years. In 2014 he left the university and wrote in an e-mail to colleagues: "From my personal point of view, the committee has disempowered itself by being too close to the Presidium, which is also one of the causes of the problems the university is facing today."
