Description
Founded in Ingolstadt in 1472, where it remained for more than 300 years, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t M?nchen was moved to Landshut in 1800, only to find its ultimate location in Munich just a quarter of a century later in 1826. Illustrated with documents, portraits, and numerous other pictures, this volume on the university's history is an impressive record of the course taken by LMU Munich from an educational establishment in the Late Middle Ages to a top university of international renown in the 21st century. The more than 500-year history of LMU is marked by a number of decisive turn-ing points. Time and again, the university had to face major political and social challenges, the effects of which can still be seen today. The history of LMU is also, as it were, a reflection of the history of Bavaria. Largely brought into line under the National Socialists, the university experienced the darkest period in its his-tory. Despite being virtually completely destroyed during the war, it was however still possible for the constitutional convention of 1946 to be held in the aula maxima, that had remained unscathed. LMU was rebuilt thanks to concerted efforts and, in the decades to follow, developed into Bavaria's largest university of an excellent reputation on international level. As such, it not only retained the character of a Landesuniversit?t (state university) as Louis the Rich, Duke of Bavaria, had intended, but beyond that gained an extensive significance and outreach.
