The Technical University "Carl Schorlemmer" Leuna-Merseburg (THLM), initially known as the Technical University of Chemistry Leuna-Merseburg (THC) when it was founded , was a technical university with the right to award doctorates in Merseburg in what is now the state of Saxony-Anhalt . It was created on September 1, 1954 and was named after Carl Schorlemmer in 1964 . The Merseburg University of Applied Sciences was founded on the grounds of the THLM in 1992 . On March 31, 1993, the THLM was abolished.

Establishment, development, name changes and cancellation

On September 1, 1954, the Technical University of Chemistry Leuna-Merseburg (THC) was founded with a ceremony in Halle (Saale). On October 19, 1954, the first 207 chemistry students were enrolled in the Leuna-Werke clubhouse in Leuna and, at the same time, mathematician Herbert Dallmann was appointed to his post as founding rector ; the foundation stone for the Merseburg campus was laid. In the immediately neighboring town of Leuna, despite the name of the university, there was never a location, but it was the largest chemical plant in the GDR.

The founding goal was to create a technical university with an application-oriented profile that combines process technology with theory and economics as well as contributing to human and scientific support for the Central German chemical industry through training, further education and research.

The establishment of this university, which is specially tailored to large-scale chemical industry, is to be regarded as a late consequence of the two world wars as well as the division of Germany and the current events of June 17, 1953. Only a few weeks after this political unrest in the GDR, which shocked Walter Ulbricht's leadership , the GDR Council of Ministers decided to found several universities in August 1953. The aim was to give the industry the lack of support in order to noticeably increase its performance in the medium term and thus to develop the standard of living towards the West German level.

The later TH Karl-Marx-Stadt (today TU Chemnitz) with its mechanical engineering profile belonged to these university foundations . The electrical engineering was transferred to the later TH Ilmenau (today TU Ilmenau) and the HfV Dresden . The later TH Magdeburg (today Otto von Guericke University) was geared towards heavy mechanical engineering . The University of Architecture and Construction Weimar and the University of Construction Cottbus were assigned to the building industry . The Hochschule für Bauwesen Leipzig was also re-established in 1954, from which the neighboring Technical University of Leipzig was formed in 1977 together with several predecessor institutions, with its construction, polygraphy, automation and electrical engineering profile.

The city of Leipzig was originally intended as the location for a TH for chemistry in the central German chemistry triangle between the cities of Leipzig, Halle / Merseburg and Dessau / Bitterfeld ; However, this proposal was rejected again because of excessive activity during the riots of June 17th. Merseburg was awarded the contract as a much smaller and quieter city located between two chemical giants:

Leuna Works (1958)
Buna Works (1985)

The THC was initially subordinated to the Ministry of Heavy Industry, then in December 1955 to the newly formed Ministry of Chemical Industry. From February 1958 the THC belonged to the State Secretariat for Higher and Technical Education, which later became the Ministry of Higher and Technical Education .

In September 1959 a festival week was held to mark the 5th anniversary of THC. The university already had 947 students (48 of them foreigners) with 774 dormitory places, 35 professors, 115 academic staff, a total of 581 employees. The number of institutes had increased to 18.

This festival week developed into an integral part of the university tradition and was celebrated every 5 years in autumn:

1964 for the 10th anniversary of THC. At that time, the university had 1,940 students, 39 professors, 211 research assistants and 25 institutes. By resolution of the Presidium of the Council of Ministers, it was given the name “Carl Schorlemmer” University of Chemistry in Leuna-Merseburg .

The 15th anniversary of THC was celebrated in 1969 with 2,670 students as well as 55 professors and 347 scientific staff.

In 1974, for its 20th anniversary, the THC now had 2,950 students, for whom 4,009 dormitory places were available. The number of professors had risen to 55, supported by 347 academic staff.

From January 1975 onwards, the university was called “Carl Schorlemmer” Leuna-Merseburg (THLM) technical university , so the addition “for chemistry” was omitted.

For its 25th anniversary in 1979, the THLM had 2,720 students, and there were still 4,009 dormitory places available. 72 professors and 437 research assistants were employed with a total of 1,764 employees.

The festival week in 1984 was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the THLM and the 150th birthday of Carl Schorlemmer. The number of students had reached 3,114 with 3,690 dormitory places. 79 professors and 386 research assistants worked at the university. The total number of employees was 1,742.

In September 1989 the THLM celebrated its 35th anniversary. At that time it comprised 2,848 students, 76 professors and 432 research assistants.

The democratic renewal was initiated at the university on October 30, 1989 with a conversation between the rector Hans-Joachim Aust and the signatories of a corresponding appeal. On November 13, the college spoke out in favor of separating the state leadership and the SED party organization. On November 20, the rector Margit T. Rätzsch was released from her position prematurely. A number of further steps followed on this path of renewal.

On May 7, 1990, the new Scientific Council elected Egon Fanghänel as Rector, Wolfgang Fratzscher as Vice-Rector for Scientific Development and Rolf Kümmel as Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs . In September 1990 the Senate formed a commission for rehabilitation and coming to terms with the past (headed by Georg Brack ).

Immediately after reunification, the university library was the first in the new federal states to be connected to the FRG science network and an STN training center was opened at the THLM (headed by library director Klaus Krug ). The 162nd University Rectors' Conference accepted the THLM as a member in November 1990.

The state government of Saxony-Anhalt decided to wind up the THLM at the beginning of December. In March 1991, the THLM was evaluated by a working group of the Science Council with the result, published in July, that the three high-performance and competitive departments of chemistry, process engineering, and materials and processing technology were merged with the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) should. For this purpose, a parity integration commission was formed to prepare and support this unification process. The affiliation was regulated in the first higher education structure law of Saxony-Anhalt.

In September 1991 only 1,854 students were still enrolled at THLM, for which 3,579 dormitory places were available. The total number of employees was 1,450, including 71 professors and 398 research assistants; there were 30 institutes.

The first higher education structure law (HSG) of the state of Saxony-Anhalt of February 28, 1992 set the repeal of the THLM. On March 31, 1993, the technical college "Carl Schorlemmer" Leuna-Merseburg was legally annulled. The last rector was the mathematician Alfred Göpfert , who had only assumed this position on December 14, 1992. His repeal commissioner was P. Schumacher , who has a doctorate in chemistry .

The neighboring state of Saxony also followed the recommendations of the Science Council and closed five technical universities: Technical University Leipzig , HfV Dresden , IH Mittweida , TH Zittau , TH Zwickau . In their place, less expensive universities of applied sciences were founded.

Rectors

The Rectorate of the THLM was headed by a total of 11 rectors , who were elected by the Academic Senate of the university:

  • Herbert Dallmann (1909–1996), mathematician, founding rector from 1954 to 1955
  • Eberhard Leibnitz (1910–1986), chemist, teaching from 1955 to 1961, rector from 1955 to 1958
  • Heinz Schmellenmeier (1909–1994), physicist, teaching position and rector from 1958 to 1961
  • Elmar Profft (1905–1978), chemist, teaching from 1956 to 1961, rector from March 1961 to December 1961
  • Rolf Landsberg (1920–2003), chemist, teaching from 1955 to 1964, rector from 1962 to 1964
  • Hans-Joachim Bittrich (1923–2010), chemist, teaching from 1961 to 1988, rector from 1964 to 1968
  • Hans-Heinz Emons (* 1930), chemist, teaching from 1964 to 1975, Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry from 1966 to 1968, Rector from 1968 to 1975
  • Gert Naue (* 1934), fluid mechanic, teaching from 1965 to 1992, rector from 1975 to 1981
  • Margit T. Rätzsch (1934–2016), physical chemist, teaching from 1959 to 1993, rector from 1981 to 1990
  • Egon Fanghänel (* 1935), chemist, teaching from 1968 to 1993, rector from 1990 to 1992 (MLU: until 2000)
  • Alfred Göpfert (* 1934), mathematician, teaching from 1974 to 1993, rector from 1992 to 1993 (MLU: until 1999).

Vice-Rectorates

The Vice Rector of the First Vice Rector was entrusted with the university administration and cross-sectional tasks.

The Vice Rector for Education and Training was responsible for the entire training process. The Merseburg training was very practical from the start, so that the graduates were in great demand in the chemical industry. From September 1981 a new scholarship regulation came into force for the students, according to which the basic scholarship was 200 marks per month, which could be supplemented by graduated performance scholarships.

The Vice Rector for Social Sciences was added later for specific tasks in education and training.

As early as October 1956, the Vice-Rector for Research and Aspirations was founded. It was responsible for developing the academic basis of the university. In particular, it also had to ensure that scientific cooperation with the chemical industry in the regional chemical triangle was developed. Numerous cooperation agreements were concluded for this purpose: 1958 with the Leuna-Werke, 1959 with the electrochemical combine Bitterfeld, 1978 with the chemical plant construction combine Grimma for the joint university-industrial research group (HIFOG) process engineering, 1986 with the combine "Carl Zeiss" Jena (contract volume: 40 Million marks), with the Chemical Combine Bitterfeld (CKB) and the Photo-Chemical Combine ORWO Wolfen as well as with the Leuna Works "Walter Ulbricht", the Chemical Plant Construction Combine Leipzig-Grimma (CLG) and the Chemical Works Buna.

In 1987 the research and development department “Polymer Materials” was founded (Director: Ernst-Otto Reher). In mid-1989, the HIFOG “Highly Refined Products” technical center started operations in cooperation with the chemical combines in Leuna, Schkopau, Bitterfeld and Leipzig-Grimma.

The international university connections were started by a contract with the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava in 1959. In 1982 an agreement was made with the Siberian Department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Novosibirsk to start the computer dialogue. In addition, there were other international scientific collaborations that were backed up by contracts, in particular with the VR Vietnam.

Institute founding

The initial development of THC is particularly reflected in the institute founded since 1954:

  • 1954: Inorganic Chemistry (Director: Werner Lautzsch); Machine Science (Director: Werner Häußler); Mathematics (Director: Herbert Dallmann ); Department of Social Sciences; University library with 3,000 volumes (Director: R. Mack).
  • 1955: The scientific department of the pharmaceutical company Fahlberg-List in Magdeburg (head: Elmar Profft ) is connected to the THC as a research institute in Magdeburg. Organic Chemistry (Director: Elmar Profft); Analytical Chemistry, first and only institute in the GDR (Director: Rudolf Geyer); Physical chemistry (Director: Rolf Landsberg ); Physics (Director: Becherer); Language Teaching Department (Head: H. Voitzsch); Department of Student Physical Education (Head: H. Behnke).

The institute for technical physics is subdivided into the institutes for: Automation of chemical processes (acting director: Georg Brack ); Technical mechanics and fluid mechanics (acting director: Wolfgang Pfefferkorn).
Campus Merseburg, school for former special classes (2014)
  • In 1964, THC was the first university in the GDR to set up special chemistry classes. Here scientifically gifted students from all over the GDR were trained after the 10th grade and led to the Abitur with the 12th grade.
  • 1965: Socialist economic management (Director: Siegfried Tannhäuser).
  • 1967: Development of larger, more efficient institutes: Petrochemistry and organic intermediates (from the institutes for petrochemistry and chemistry and technology of organic intermediates), (Director: Wilhelm Pritzkow); Inorganic-technical chemistry (from the institutes for chemical metals and for chemistry and technology of mineral salts), (Director: Hans-Heinz Emons ).
  • 1968: With the third university reform in the summer of 1968, almost uniform new structures were introduced at all colleges and universities in the GDR, so that the description given for the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences has a largely general character (there were mainly deviations at the universities in the medical field) . In the course of this higher education reform, the existing institute structures were completely dissolved and sections were introduced as larger units (roughly comparable to the US departmental structures). The aim here was to achieve greater structural centralization in higher education.

At the same time, a similar process of concentration began at the German Academy of Sciences (DAW) under its President Hermann Klare as an academy reform in which central institutes were established here. In 1972 this process was completed with the renaming of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (AdW).

Sections

Since 1968/1969, the measures to implement the Third University Reform began gradually. To this end, the institutes were restructured and scientific areas were created, several of which were combined into one section under the direction of a section director. The chemistry sections were founded; Process chemistry (until 1976); Process technology; High polymers (until 1976); Socialist business administration SBW (until 1972) and cybernetics / mathematics / data processing KMD (until 1972).

In 1972, new sections were founded from the areas of the KMD and SBW sections: Economics (Director: Hans-Joachim Aust) and Mathematics and Computer Technology (Director: Horst Erfurth). In 1976, the High Polymers and Process Chemistry Sections were dissolved again and the Chemistry Section was formed from this. A separate physics section was also set up.

Senate and Faculties

In December 1955, the Academic Senate was constituted , which included not only the elected professors but also scientifically proven representatives from practice.

Immediately afterwards Faculty II met for the first time for scientific and technical supplementary subjects, a forerunner of the later Faculty for Process Engineering and Basic Sciences.

In July 1956, the Faculty of Materials Management was founded. In November 1957 she was granted the unrestricted right to doctorate and habilitation (Dean: H.-H. Lehmann). The first doctoral certificate was awarded to Hans-Jürgen Papenfuss in January 1958 . HH Franck received the first honorary doctorate from this faculty in November 1958.

The Faculty of Engineering Economics was also founded in 1956 and was granted unrestricted doctoral and post-doctoral qualifications in April 1961.

The Faculty of Process Engineering and Basic Sciences was founded with effect from September 1958 (Dean: Karl-Georg Häußler). As of August 1959, she received the unrestricted right to doctorate and habilitation. In the 1980s in particular, training in process engineering was characterized by a large variety of specialization and testing directions.

In 1989 the university had the sections for chemistry, process engineering, materials technology, mathematics, physics and economics, from which one could obtain a university degree. There was also a section on Marxism-Leninism , but no students were enrolled in it. This section served the compulsory training of all students in the GDR in the field of Marxism-Leninism .

A total of 23 persons were appointed honorary doctors of the THLM by the faculties : Eberhard Leibnitz , Günther Adolphi, Hermann Klare , Günther Rienäcker , Kurt Schwabe , Hans-Heinz Emons , Günther Wyschofsky , Alfred Rieche and others

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Leningrad Technological Institute “Lensowjet” , members of the THLM were appointed honorary professors at this institute: Gert Naue , Heinz Georg Osmar Becker , Klaus Hartmann, Ernst-Otto Reher and Dieter Schönknecht.

After German reunification , the Senate decided in January 1991 to dissolve all sections and to found new faculties with departments and institutes. The faculty structures in 1991 showed the following picture:

  • Faculty of Science

Department of Chemistry

Institute: Analytics and Environmental Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry; Organic chemistry; Physical chemistry; Technical chemistry; Macromolecular Chemistry.

Scientific life

Research results were published in the own "Scientific Journal of the THC", the first issue of which appeared in October 1958 and whose name reflected the renaming of the university in the course of its history. In addition, members of the THLM published increasingly in international scientific journals. Her book publications (monographs, edited volumes, specialist and textbooks) were often so successful that they were often published in several editions. An important basis for the training was the process engineering textbook , which was completed in October 1979 with the 30th volume and 120,000 copies have been printed since the first volume was published; over 100 authors have worked on it.

Distinguished professors were elected as members of the German Academy of Sciences (DAW) and the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (AdW).

In autumn 1965, the Senate decided to establish the "Carl Schorlemmer Prize" for outstanding scientific achievements by members of the THC.

In October 1975 the first "Merseburg Technological Days" took place as a scientific event, which was a traditional high point of their scientific life until the THLM was abolished.

Culture

When the TH was founded, an art collection was created and expanded continuously until the university was dissolved. The cultural offerings of the university ranged from music performances to readings by writers, art exhibitions, theater performances and performances in the film club and included several cultural-artistic interest groups, including a student cabaret.

Since the beginning of 1981 "Sunday lectures" were offered by the THLM together with the Urania , the Cultural Association and the Chamber of Technology were conducted. These public lectures on current topics, e.g. B. "Genetic manipulation - bogeyman or hope for the future?" Became a constant offer for the population.

Campus development

Campus Merseburg, dormitories (2014)

On the occasion of the opening ceremony of the university in October 1954, the foundation stone was laid on the planned university campus. In September 1955, boarding school 1 with 200 dormitory places was opened. At the end of 1957, boarding schools 3 and 4 (which were later used as office buildings) and the first construction phase of boarding school 2 were completed. At the end of 1958, 4 boarding schools with an average of 500 places each were structurally completed. The student club, founded in December 1957, built suitable basement space in boarding schools 1 and 2 through its own work. This resulted in the student clubs "Wärmetauscher" (called "Wärmi" for short) and "Alchemist trap", others followed in a few other dormitories. A total of 10 boarding schools with a total capacity of over 4,000 dormitory places were built, which at that time were rented for 10 marks per place and month (including bed linen). In the meantime, these dormitories have been partially renovated and partially converted or demolished.

Campus Merseburg, main building (2014)

In January 1956, a concrete and slab factory was first built to build the main building. In September 1965, the large lecture hall with 500 seats in the main building, which has now been completed, was inaugurated, which was transformed into a new library for the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences in 2010 as part of a campus renovation.

The first paved road on campus opened to traffic in October 1963.

Campus Merseburg, canteen (2014)

In April 1974 the new canteen was put into operation with an investment volume of 11 million marks. It had a capacity of 5,400 meals per day, and the building also housed a company restaurant, a refreshment room and a pub. During the campus renovation, the cafeteria was completely relocated to the main building.

On May 1, 1969, the “Ölgrube” cellar club was opened in the center of the city of Merseburg, which was created through personal contributions and donations from students and university members. In April 1981 the “La Paix” club for foreign students in boarding school VIII was completed. In February 1988 the reconstructed student club "Reaktor" was handed over to the FDJ basic organization by the prorector for education and training .

The Studentenwerk Halle started its activity at the beginning of 1992 and has since managed the dormitories, the cafeteria, the kindergarten, the crèche and the student loan department. The remaining basement clubs were given notice of their historic premises by the Halle student union in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

On February 1, 1993, the University of Applied Sciences, newly founded on the Merseburg campus in 1992, took over the function of host for the entire campus; the THLM was legally repealed on March 31, 1993.
