Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg was founded in 1993 and is one of Germany’s youngest universities. It was formed by a merger of the existing technical university, the teacher training college, and the medical school. The university now comprises nine faculties and about 14,000 students and is becoming increasingly more important as a center for education and research.
It plays an important role in the regional capital of Magdeburg, which is developing into a center for business, scholarship, and culture. The university is a member of many organizations and committees. It is named after Otto von Guericke (1602-1686), Magdeburg’s famous citizen, whose pioneering research into the vacuum brought him renown well beyond Germany’s borders. The university aspires to teach and research in the tradition of this great scientist, philosopher, and engineer and to continue with his humanist work.
