The old University of Erfurt ( Alma mater Erfordensis or Hierana ) was founded on the basis of a deed of foundation by Pope Clemens VII in 1379 and in subsequent confirmation by Pope Urban VI. erected on May 4, 1389. It was officially opened in the second week after Easter 1392. If you take the founding deed issued at the request of the citizens of Erfurt as a reference, the University of Erfurt is the oldest university in Germany, but it was later closed for almost two centuries. In addition, the University of Heidelberg had already started regular teaching in 1386. With its general studies going back to the 13th century, Hierana also had the longest university tradition in Germany until its closure in 1816. After German reunification, the university was re-established in 1994. The Erfurt University of Education , which was founded during the GDR era, and other institutions merged into the rebuilt university. The Medical University of Erfurt , which existed until 1993, was excluded from this . Today the University of Erfurt is one of four universities in the Free State of Thuringia .
history
founding
Since the 13th century, a university-like general course had been established in Erfurt, which was supported by colleges. However, the flourishing school business got into crisis in the middle of the 14th century because, unlike the emerging central European universities, it lacked the right to award doctorates. Therefore, the city had Erfurt in 1378 with Pope Clement VII. , The anti-pope in Avignon , applied for the foundation of a university in Erfurt and in 1379 a foundation bull get. The initiative for the application was due in particular to the high level of commitment shown by the citizens of Erfurt. Since the sovereign, Archbishop Adolf von Mainz , changed the fronts and Pope Urban VI. in Rome, the opening became impossible.
However, after the Cologne council had established the Universitas Studii Coloniensis in its city in 1388 , the Erfurt city fathers also became active again and tried a second time to obtain approval to found a university. The Roman Pope Urban VI gave them this permission. with a document dated May 4, 1389.
In the second week after Easter 1392, the University of Erfurt was opened as the third university after the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (1386) and Cologne (1388) within the borders of today's Germany (the oldest university in the Holy Roman Empire north of the Alps is the Charles University in Prague founded in 1348 ). The first rector election took place in the same year, and teaching began in the summer semester. The Universitas Studii Erfordiensis was soon known under the name Hierana (the one on the Gera / Hiera).
The teaching buildings were located in the Latin Quarter , opposite the Michaeliskirche , which served as the university church. The representative main building was the Collegium Maius, built between 1511 and 1550 .
Recent research on the founding history of the university advocates viewing the founding privilege of 1379 as a “birth certificate”, which would make Erfurt the oldest university in present-day Germany before Heidelberg (1385) and Cologne (1388). Also in Vienna , where there are almost 20 years between the founding privilege in 1365 and the start of regular studies, and other old universities, the first date is invoked.
First heyday
The first rector was Ludwig Mollner from Arnstadt . Under him and his successors, the University of Erfurt rose rapidly. The young university quickly developed into a full university with all four faculties ( philosophy , medicine , secular and ecclesiastical law , theology ). The arts faculty , where the seven liberal arts ( liberal arts were taught), enjoyed high reputation widely. Due to the city's central location at the intersection of European traffic routes, the university soon developed into one of the most well-known educational institutions in Central Europe.
The same applies in particular to the theological faculty, whose graduates were active throughout Germany and beyond, and to the legal faculty, where civil law was established alongside church law at the beginning of the 15th century. The orders of the Franciscans , Augustinian hermits and Dominicans brought their existing study houses in Erfurt to the theological faculty in 1392; for the order, Erfurt received the status of a general course , to which the executives were sent to study. The University of Erfurt was for a time the most famous place for legal studies north of the Alps and was known as the " Bologna of the North". The high reputation of these two faculties was mainly due to their representatives, who took part in the councils of Constance (1414–1418) and Basel (1431–1449) and acted as important experts in many ecclesiastical issues. They also made a name for themselves as advisors to the princes.
This is how the University of Erfurt became the most visited university in Germany in the 15th century and had the largest student body. Their scholars flocked there from all parts of Europe. In addition, the university served as a model for many university foundations in the 15th century, e.g. B. for Rostock (1419), Basel (1460), Trier (1473) and Mainz (1477).
A large library, the famous Bibliotheca Amploniana , donated by Amplonius Rating de Berka , who completed his medical studies in Erfurt and received his doctorate there in 1393, also dates from this period . From May 5, 1394 to January 31, 1395 he was the second rector of the University of Erfurt. Around 1410 he wrote a catalog for his library, which is sorted according to areas of knowledge (theology, medicine, etc.) and is still preserved today. On May 1, 1412, Amplonius donated his library to the Collegium Porta Coeli (Collegium Amplonianum) in Erfurt, which he founded. The Amplonius library encompasses the universe of late medieval knowledge. Around two thirds of the original book collection has been preserved to this day. The Bibliotheca Amploniana has been kept in the Erfurt University Library since 2001. It is considered to be one of the most important manuscript collections in Germany and is the world's largest still closed manuscript collection by a late medieval scholar.
Second heyday
The University of Erfurt experienced a further intellectual boom at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. It took place in two directions at the same time: on the one hand there was a late bloom of scholasticism , on the other hand Erfurt remained loyal to via moderna . Due to the central location of Erfurt at the intersection of European traffic routes, the university soon developed into one of the most renowned educational institutions in Central Europe. At times with more than 1,100 teachers and students and with 35,707 enrolled students between 1392 and 1521, it was the most heavily attended university in German-speaking countries after Vienna.
One of the best-known Erfurt students from this time is the later reformer Martin Luther , who was enrolled at the artistic faculty of the University of Erfurt in 1501 as "Martinus Ludher ex Mansfeldt", where he passed his bachelor's degree in 1502 and in 1505 became a Magister Artium . Thereby he received important foundations and numerous suggestions for his later development.
If you want to study well, go to Erfurt , Luther recommended and described other universities to the University of Erfurt as “small shooting schools”. All his life he had a close relationship with Erfurt and its university, where he went several times later. It sounds like a confession when he formulated in 1513: “The University of Erfurt is my mother to whom I owe everything.” After his thunderstorm experience , Luther entered the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt on July 17, 1505 . In 1507 he was ordained a priest in the Kiliani chapel of the Erfurt Marienstift (cathedral) (today a lecture room of the Catholic Theological Faculty) and then began to study theology at the general course of the Augustinian hermits in Erfurt, which was incorporated into the university, which became in 1509 he then did his doctorate in the Coelicum (today's auditorium of the Catholic Theological Faculty).
The humanist Eobanus Hessus (1488–1540), who studied in Erfurt from 1504, proclaimed: Erfurt shines in the glory of science, and won the competition from all cities in Germany.
The university also played a very important role in the secular renewal movements of humanism and the Reformation. This is how the so-called “Erfurt Humanist Circle” around Helius Eobanus Hessus created the “ Dunkelmännerbriefe ” (1515/17), which are considered to be the most important and apt satires on the late scholasticism and pseudo-scholarly monasticism of that time.
In the years 1520/1521 the respected humanist Crotus Rubeanus held the office of rector. He prepared an honorary reception for Martin Luther during his stay in Erfurt (April 6 to 8, 1521) on the way to the Reichstag in Worms in 1521, which testifies to the enthusiastic reception of the Reformation idea.
closure
After the University of Erfurt had reached its peak in the age of the Reformation and humanism, there was an inexorable decline of the Erfurt University beginning with the Pfaffenstürme in 1521, but especially after the Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic era . Their share within the German student body (excluding the Habsburg areas) fell from over 20% to 1.5% to 3% in the 17th and 18th centuries. She was "long ago only a shadow of her former size". Erfurt shared the fate of such small universities as Altdorf , Duisburg , Fulda and Herborn and did not survive the era of the Napoleonic Wars in Germany. Around 1800 a total of 22 German universities had to close.
During the period when Erfurt was Napoleon's “imperial domain” , the Collegium Maius (main building of the university and seat of three faculties), the neighboring Bursa of the Philosophical Faculty and the Coelicum of the theologians on the cloister of the cathedral were owned by the French from 1806 to 1814 misused as magazines and hospitals.
From 1814 it belonged to the Prussian state again, and in 1816 the Erfurt University with just 20 students was dissolved by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. closed on September 24, 1816.
Only the academy of non-profit science in Erfurt , founded by Erfurt university professors in 1754 , remained. The academy, like the society for the history and antiquity of Erfurt , tried to keep the university's memory alive.
Legacies
Some buildings in the historic university quarter , the so-called Latin Quarter, remind of the tradition of the old Erfurt University . There is also the main building of the historic university, the Collegium Maius (built 1512-1515) , which was completely destroyed by a US air raid in February 1945 and has been rebuilt since 1998 .
A second-hand bookshop and academic bookstore in this area (Futterstraße) still bears the name of the old Hierana.
With the Bibliotheca Amploniana , private library of the second rector Amplonius Ratingk the Elder. Ä. (approx. 1365–1435), which he transferred to the university in 1412, Erfurt owns a world-famous collection of late medieval manuscripts. This largest library by a pre-humanist scholar also provides a comprehensive overview of all of contemporary medicine as taught across Europe up to the second half of the 15th century.
Other academies and universities in Erfurt
From 1954 to 1993, the Erfurt Medical Academy was an academic training center for doctors and, from 1975, also for dentists , which saw itself in the tradition of the old University of Erfurt. The Department for the History of Medicine , which was established in 1960, made a contribution to researching the history of science and universities in Erfurt. The Medical Academy (from 1992 Medical University) was not accepted as a faculty in the university , despite a positive evaluation by the Science Council . Instead, the state of Thuringia concentrated the costly medical training at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena .
The Erfurt Education Academy existed from 1929 to 1931. And in 1953 the Erfurt Pedagogical Institute was founded. This institute was merged with the Mühlhausen Pedagogical Institute in 1969 - and this new institution continued to exist as the Erfurt / Mühlhausen University of Education .
Rebuilding
From 1987 onwards, members of today's Erfurt University Society were committed to re-establishing the university, which quickly took shape at the turn of the year 1989 on their initiative. On June 25, 1993, the state government issued a statutory ordinance "on the tasks and composition of the founding commission to prepare for the establishment of the University of Erfurt". In December 1993 the Landtag of the Free State of Thuringia decided to rebuild the university. This makes it the youngest state university in Germany to be re-established without an existing predecessor institution, and at the same time one of the oldest with a tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages.
At the Nordhäuser Straße location, the university uses the buildings of the Pedagogical Institute (later the Pedagogical University), which were mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s. To a large extent, they show the neoclassical style that was characteristic of such buildings in the GDR at the time, but they also illustrate the changes in architecture during this time. The maximum auditorium dates from 1956 to 1961.
The university in Erfurt was legally re-established on January 1, 1994. Teaching began in the 1999/2000 winter semester, shortly after the founding president Peter Glotz left the university. His successor was Wolfgang Bergsdorf . In 2001 the Erfurt University of Education was incorporated into the university. Two years later, with the Catholic-Theological Faculty, the Erfurt Theological Faculty, which had previously been supported by the Catholic Church , including the seminary (successor to the Erfurt Philosophical-Theological Course established in 1952 ) was integrated into the university as the fourth faculty.
Recent developments
Due to chronic underfunding, there were extensive layoffs and vacancies not being filled in 2003, which, as in the whole of Thuringia, triggered student protests. By adapting some of the original reform goals, the situation was stabilized by administrative measures by the university management and committees.
In 2005 and 2008, the communication science course and some courses in the political science faculty of the university were in the top group of the university ranking from the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) and the magazine stern . Numerous study programs have been accredited by the ACQUIN accreditation agency . In the same year, the University of Erfurt was recognized as a particularly family-friendly university by the “Family- Friendly University Audit” of the non-profit Hertie Foundation .
The Communication and Information Center (KIZ) was opened on campus in 2016. In addition to the university computer center, it houses lecture halls and a library magazine.
The university has been a member of the DFG since July 2019 . The research strength of the university was highlighted at the time of inclusion. The University of Erfurt is the 97th member of the DFG. In October 2019 the groundbreaking ceremony took place for the new construction of the research building "World Relations" with 160 workplaces. It was the first purely humanities research project that was awarded a contract for its own research building by the federal government. It is to be used primarily by the University's Max Weber College . 25 years after the re-establishment, the University of Erfurt introduced a new corporate design in 2019.
At the moment there is a supervisory ratio of around 55 students to one professor at the university.
Special facilities
Max Weber College
One of the special facilities of the university is the Max Weber College for Cultural and Social Studies , an Institute for Advanced Study with an attached Graduate College , at which scientists from various disciplines (e.g. sociology, history, philosophy, theology, religion, law and economics) on time to Fellows are appointed that appeal to a Weberian research program are to participate and PhD students - both graduate students and post-docs - manage. A new research building is currently being built on campus for the Max Weber College.
Willy Brandt School
Another institution is the Erfurt School of Public Policy (ESPP), which is largely funded by third parties and renamed the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy in 2009 , a professional school based on the Anglo-American model , which since 2002 has been the first German course to acquire a Master of Public Policy (MPP) and is located at the Faculty of Political Science.
University Society
The Erfurt University Society acts as the sponsoring company for the university . In 2002 the Michaeliskirche in Erfurt was named a university church for the second time after 1392 .
University libraries
The University Library of Erfurt was merged with the Research and State Library Gotha in 1999 . As the university and research library in Erfurt / Gotha , it had a stock of around 750,000 volumes in Erfurt and around 550,000 volumes, mainly from the 16th to 19th centuries in Gotha . The library holdings also included around 10,000 manuscripts as well as the famous library of scholars, Bibliotheca Amploniana, with almost 1,000 medieval and early modern manuscripts, which was never part of the university library of the old University of Erfurt, but always belonged to the Collegium Porta Coeli founded by Amplonius Rating de Berka .
In March 2018, the Erfurt University Library and the Gotha Research Library became independent university institutions again, with the Gotha Research Library being a scientific institution of the university since then.
Faculties and departments
The University of Erfurt is divided into four faculties with a humanities profile. In 1999, the political science disciplines and communication science were added to the teacher training / pedagogy that had already existed since the 1950s. The training in the humanities core subjects such as philosophy, history or literary studies has been extended from the framework usual for teaching to a full course. Since 2003, the Erfurt Theological Faculty, which was previously supported by the Catholic Church, has also been a legal part of the university as the fourth faculty. Since December 2004, the Catholic Theological Faculty has had the Villa Martin named after the former owner on the campus of the University of Erfurt as an office building. The Catholic Theological Faculty is significantly smaller than the other three faculties.
The University of Erfurt sees itself as a humanities reform university with a cultural and social science profile. The interdisciplinary approach is expressed in the central campus, which also spatially connects all disciplines.
