OverviewThe history of the University of Cologne is unusual: the city founded it for the second time in 1919. More than a hundred years earlier, its predecessor by 1388 had been closed. Even during the First World War, what had been prepared with the commercial college of 1901 took shape. The new university combined theory, practice and exploration of the social world. She saw herself as progressive and loyal to the republic. But which path has the university taken since those beginnings? How did National Socialism and the founding of the Federal Republic have an impact, such as 1968 and the beginnings of globalization? Who were the influential people, what were the key decisions? What did it mean to study in Cologne at different times, and what was your relationship to the city and its society? The present volume presents a dense panorama of information, biographies, images and objects. They vividly convey the continuities and transformations of the University of Cologne since 1919 - up to the 21st century, which the university began successfully: Modern forms of teaching and a wide range of subjects, cutting-edge research and internationalization make it an outstanding place of knowledge. The book is being published on the 100th anniversary of the re-establishment of Cologne University. It is published on behalf of the Rectorate by Habbo Knoch, Ralph Jessen and Hans Peter Ullmann, who also provided the basic concept for the volume. All three teach as professors at the Historical Institute and have been leading a project there since 2016 to research the history of the New University. An internal university advisory board, which includes representatives from all faculties, expertly accompanied the creation of the volume. In close coordination with the project managers, the Cologne history office Reder, Roeseling & Prüfer has taken on the task of researching and creating the representation. The main editor Thomas Prüfer and the project manager Thekla Keuck both did their doctorates in modern history at the University of Cologne.
