Historia
Fundación
Originalmente la Universidad de Albrechts, la universidad comenzó con cuatro facultades ( teología , filosofía , medicina y derecho ). Su establecimiento pertenece a la segunda ola de fundaciones universitarias en el mundo de habla alemana a finales de la Edad Media , como la Universidad de Tübingen y la Universidad de Basilea ( Suiza ). Establecida por privilegio papal ( bula papal ), la Universidad de Friburgo era en realidad, como todas o la mayoría de las universidades de la Edad Media, una corporación del cuerpo eclesiástico y, por lo tanto, pertenecía a la Iglesia Católica Romana y su jerarquía. En consecuencia, el obispo de Basilea era su preboste o canciller ( Kanzler ), el obispo de Constanza era su patrón, y el verdadero fundador de la universidad era el soberano, el archiduque Alberto VI de Austria , hermano de Federico III , emperador de los Santos. Imperio Romano de la Nación Alemana . En su fundación, la universidad recibió el nombre de Alberto VI de Austria . Proporcionó a la universidad tierras y dotaciones , así como su propia jurisdicción . También declaró la Universidad de Albrechts como la "universidad del condado" ( Landesuniversität alemana ) para su territorio hasta que fue entregada a la Casa Austriaca de Habsburgo en 1490.
La universidad pronto atrajo a muchos estudiantes, como los humanistas Geiler von Kaysersberg , Johann Reuchlin y Jakob Wimpfeling . Cuando Ulrich Zasius enseñaba derecho (hasta 1536), Friburgo se convirtió en un centro de jurisprudencia humanista . De 1529 a 1535, Erasmo de Rotterdam después de haber dejado Basilea, vivió y enseñó en Friburgo , sin embargo, nunca en la universidad. [3] Desde alrededor de 1559 en adelante, la universidad se ubicó en el Altes Collegium ("Old College"), hoy llamado el "nuevo ayuntamiento". La importancia de la universidad disminuyó durante la época de la Contrarreforma . Para contrarrestar las tendencias reformadoras, la administración de dos facultades fue entregada a la orden católica de los jesuitas en 1620. A partir de 1682, los jesuitas construyeron su colegio, así como la iglesia de los jesuitas (hoy en día la "Iglesia de la Universidad" o Universitätskirche ). .
Studium gallicum
En 1679, Friburgo se convirtió temporalmente en territorio francés , junto con la parte sur del Alto Rin . Al rey francés Luis XIV no le gustaba el sistema austríaco y dio a los jesuitas las manos libres para operar la universidad. El 6 de noviembre de 1684 se inició un programa educativo bilingüe. De 1686 a 1698, la facultad huyó a Konstanz .
Reformas austriacas
Después de que Friburgo fuera reconquistada y nombrada capital de Austria Adicional , comenzó una nueva época para la universidad con las reformas de la emperatriz María Teresa de Austria . Los requisitos de admisión se cambiaron para todas las facultades en 1767 (antes de ese momento solo se permitía estudiar a los católicos romanos ) y se agregaron Ciencias Naturales y Administración Pública . También en 1767, la universidad se convirtió en una institución gubernamental a pesar de las protestas de la Iglesia. La Iglesia finalmente perdió su influencia predominante en la universidad cuando los jesuitas fueron suprimidos tras un decreto firmado por el Papa Clemente XIV en 1773. En consecuencia, Johann Georg Jacobi (hermano del filósofo más famoso Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi ) en 1784 fue el primer profesor protestante que enseñaba en la universidad de Friburgo.
Cuando Friburgo se convirtió en parte del recién establecido Gran Ducado de Baden (en alemán " Großherzogtum Baden ") en 1805 (después de que Napoleón ocupara el área de la antigua Austria Adicional ), comenzó una crisis para la universidad de Friburgo. De hecho, Karl Friedrich, Gran Duque de Baden y Karl, Gran Duque de Baden, consideraron cerrar la universidad en Friburgo mientras ambos pensaban que el Gran Ducado no podía permitirse el lujo de administrar dos universidades al mismo tiempo (la Ruprecht La Universidad Karl de Heidelberg existía desde 1386).
Universidad de Friburgo
La universidad tenía suficientes dotaciones y ganancias para sobrevivir hasta el comienzo de la regencia de Luis I, Gran Duque de Baden en 1818. Finalmente, en 1820, salvó la universidad con una contribución anual. Desde entonces, la universidad ha sido nombrada Universidad Albert Ludwigs de Friburgo ( Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg ) como un reconocimiento de gratitud por parte de la universidad y los ciudadanos de Friburgo.
En la década de 1880, la población estudiantil y docente comenzó a crecer rápidamente. La reputación científica de la Universidad Albert Ludwigs atrajo a varios investigadores como el economista Adolph Wagner , los historiadores Georg von Below y Friedrich Meinecke , y los juristas Karl von Amira y Paul Lenel .
En 1900, Friburgo se convirtió en la primera universidad alemana en aceptar estudiantes femeninas. Antes no había mujeres en las universidades alemanas .
A principios del siglo XX, se construyeron varios edificios universitarios nuevos en el centro de Friburgo, como el nuevo edificio principal en 1911. La universidad contaba con 3.000 estudiantes justo antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial . Después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, los filósofos Edmund Husserl y Martin Heidegger (desde 1928) enseñaron en la Universidad Albert Ludwigs, así como Edith Stein . En el campo de las ciencias sociales, Walter Eucken desarrolló la idea del ordoliberalismo , que posteriormente se conoce como la " Escuela de Friburgo ".
Tercer Reich
Durante el Tercer Reich , la universidad pasó por el proceso de "alineación política" ( Gleichschaltung ) como el resto de las universidades alemanas. Bajo el rector Martin Heidegger , todos los profesores judíos se vieron obligados a abandonar la universidad de acuerdo con la "Ley para la reintroducción del servicio civil profesional". También informó a la Gestapo de las inclinaciones pacifistas de un distinguido miembro de la facultad, Hermann Staudinger . El genetista nazi Eugen Fischer promovió puntos de vista racistas mientras era miembro de la Universidad, ideas que se utilizaron para apoyar las notorias leyes de Nuremberg aprobadas por los nazis.
Postwar years
After World War II, the university was reopened. New buildings for natural sciences were erected in the Institutsviertel ("institute quarter"). In the postwar years, the ideas of ordoliberalism, developed earlier by economists of the Freiburg School, such as Walter Eucken, Franz Böhm, Hans Grossmann-Doerth, and Leonhard Miksch, drove the creation of the German social market economy and its attendant Wirtschaftswunder. Nobel Prize winner and former professor at the University of Freiburg, Friedrich Hayek, is also associated with this theory. He directed the Walter Eucken Institut, an economic think tank in Freiburg cooperating with the university. Arnold Bergstraesser, considered a founding father or German political science after World War II, was also a professor at the University of Freiburg. His research group later formed what is now the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute for sociocultural research at the university.
In the late 20th century, the university was part of a mass education campaign and expanded rapidly. The student body grew to 10,000 by the 1960s, and doubled to 20,000 students by 1980. In the 1970s, the faculty structure was changed to 14 departments, with the Faculty of Engineering becoming the 15th faculty in 1994. In 2002, the number of faculties was reduced to 11. The university opened a memorial dedicated to the victims of National Socialism among the students, staff, and faculty in 2003.[4]
In 2006, the University of Freiburg joined the League of European Research Universities (LERU). One year later, the University was chosen as one of nine German Universities of Excellence. However, it did not receive the third line of funding in 2012.
University seal
The seal of the University of Freiburg depicts Christ seated on a gothic throne holding the gospel in his right hand with the temple curtain in the background. Christ offers the teachings of the gospel to the Jewish scholars who are crouched at his feet. To the left and right of Christ are structures resembling towers, most likely symbolic of the Temple of Jerusalem. Located to the right of Christ is the coat of arms of the Austrian duchies, a banner with five eagles. The shield on the opposite side symbolizes the coat of arms used by the Habsburgs in conjunction with their territories. The coat of arms of the city of Freiburg is located at the bottom of the seal, displaying St George's Cross. The Latin inscription on the seal reads Sigillum universitatis studii friburgensis brisgaudie. The seal was slightly modified in 1913, but has otherwise been in continuous use since it was adopted in 1462.[5]
Instalaciones
Having grown with the city since the 15th century, the university's buildings are deeply intertwined with the city. The three large campuses are the university center next to the historical city center, the institutes quarter, and the engineering campus, but other buildings can be found scattered throughout Freiburg.
The university complex in the historical center of Freiburg contains such picturesque buildings as the Jugendstil Kollegiengebäude I, built in 1911 by Hermann Billing, and the gothic revival old university library. The current University Library is also located in the historical center; it is a monumental building erected in the 1970s, and was to be renovated and redesigned beginning in September, 2008.[6] It is one of the largest in Germany and placed fourth in an October, 2007, German national ranking of university libraries.[7]
The University Church, located across from Kollegiengebäude II, was built in 1683 by the Jesuit order. The church and the Jesuit college were handed over to the university after the Jesuit order was suppressed in 1773. The church was destroyed in the 27 November 1944, bombing raid on Freiburg, and reconstructed in 1956.[8]
The "institute quarter" (Institutsviertel) is home to the science faculties. This campus was destroyed almost completely in the Freiburg bombing raid in 1944. After World War II, the reconstruction of the institutes began. Today, the quarter houses the physics buildings, the tall main chemistry building, visible from afar, the famous Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry at the Hermann-Staudinger-Haus, various other science buildings, and the renowned preclinical institutes of the Faculty of Medicine.
The engineering campus is located next to the small Freiburg airfield to the northwest of the city center, close to the University Medical Center. The campus is home to the Institut für Mikrosystemtechnik ( Department of Microsystems Engineering) and the Department of Computer Science. With the addition of the Faculty of Engineering, the University of Freiburg became the first classical university to combine traditional disciplines with microsystems technologies.
The University Medical Center (Universitätsklinikum Freiburg) is one of Germany's largest medical centers. It boasts 1,600 beds and handles 55,000 in-patients a year, with another 357,000 being treated as out-patients. It consists of 13 specialized clinics, five clinical institutes, and five centers (e.g. Center for Transplantation Medicine). The University Medical Center achieved many technical advances, such as the first implantation of an artificial heart Jarvik 2000 in 2002.
Most recently, the University of Freiburg purchased a large historic villa in the district of Herdern, which will house part of the literature and linguistics, as well as history departments of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies.
In 2015, the University of Freiburg opened its new library, housed in a modern building with a large glass and chrome facade. The library features a section for quiet work and the permanent collection as well as space for group work, where collaboration is encouraged. The building also includes a student cafe and an outdoor plaza with modern sculpture.

Estudiantes y admisión
The university has a combined undergraduate and graduate student population of around 21,600.[2] About 16% of these students are foreigners, from about 120 different countries. Admission largely depends on the faculty and program applied for and is strictly merit based, with the average score of final secondary-school examinations (German Abitur) or A-levels playing an important role. Overall, in the fall of 2010, roughly 4,000 of around 26,000 applicants were admitted, this means that the University's acceptance rate that year was equal to 15.38%.[9]
The University of Freiburg offers a large variety of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral degree programs at its 11 faculties in 150 fields of study.[10]
As common among German universities, the academic year consists of summer and winter terms (semesters). The winter term runs from 1 October to 31 March, while the summer term runs from 1 April to 30 September. However, lectures and classes usually do not run for the full duration of these periods and allow for breaks in spring and fall.
As a German university, tuition is mostly free. The University of Freiburg currently has a semester fee of 155 EUR for all undergraduate and most graduate and doctoral programs, regardless of the EU or non-EU citizenship of students. Additionally, since autumn 2017, non-EU students are charged 1500 EUR tuition fee per semester.[11]
Student life
Numerous student clubs and organizations are active, among them a campus radio station, echo-fm,[12] and a student television station, alma*,[13] which is also available as a podcast. Because of the nearby French and Swiss borders and the adjacent Black Forest, where the university owns a retreat on Schauinsland Mountain, fine opportunities exist for leisure and outdoor activities. Students come from Central and Eastern Europe for language studies, the majority demographic category is females in age range 18-25 (58%).
The university provides student housing in its various dormitories, run by the Studentenwerk. Additionally, further dormitories in Freiburg are operated by other institutions, such as the Catholic Archdiocese. Due to the affordable rent and limited spots, rooms in the various dormitories are very popular. Many students find private living arrangements, such as Wohngemeinschaften (shared apartments). However, the popularity of Freiburg for prospective students can make finding an apartment or room quite time-consuming, especially before the start of the academic terms.
The university has its own career center, singled out as one of the best in Germany by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft.[14]
Perfil académico
Excellence initiative
The university scored well with its submissions to the German Universities Excellence Initiative. The university received funding in all three categories. In the first category, funding for a new graduate school, the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine, was granted; in the second, funding was granted for the excellence cluster Centre for Biological Signalling Studies (bioss); and in the third category, Institutional Strategy Line of Funding, open only to institutions with submissions qualified in the first two categories, the university is receiving funding for "Windows for Research", which aims to promote a high level of interdisciplinarity between research fields and attract scientists from all over the world. To that end, the university founded the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). Being selected for the third category ranks Freiburg as one of nine "excellence universities" in Germany. The University is to receive over EUR 130 million in additional funds over five years (from 2007) from this third category of funding.[15][16] In 2009, the University was also successful in a nationwide competition for excellence in teaching, held by the Stifterverband der deutschen Wissenschaft. The University of Freiburg, with its plans for future innovative teaching concepts, was selected as one of 10 winners from a field of over 100 higher education institutions.[17]
In 2012, in the third round of the Excellence Initiative, the university was able to successfully extend funding for the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine, as well as bioss, while also gaining funding for a new cluster called BrainLinks-Brain Tools, an interdisciplinary neurotechnology project. Citing insufficient evidence of integration of the FRIAS concept into the university's framework, the committee did not extend funding for the FRIAS and the institutional strategy line of funding, despite acknowledging the impressive research and advances achieved at FRIAS in the past years.[18]

One of the notable graduate opportunities is the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, a project funded by the German Excellence Initiative.
Apart from the many graduate programs of its faculties, Freiburg has set up additional specialized graduate schools and graduate research centers, coordinated by the newly founded International Graduate Academy (IGA) Freiburg. The IGA coordinates five graduate schools: the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine; the European Cultures and Intercultural Interweaving school; the Theology and Religious Studies school; the Hermann Paul School of Language Sciences, and the Environment, Society and Global Change graduate school of the Faculty of Forest and Environmental Sciences.
The IGA also coordinates 12 Graduate Research Centers (Graduiertenkolleg): Biochemistry of Enzymes; Friends, Patrons, Clients; Formation and Development of Present-Day Landscapes; Mathematical Logics and Applications; Mechanisms of Neuronal Signal Transduction; Catalysts and Catalytic Reactions for Organic Synthesis (in cooperation with the University of Basel); Hadron Collider Physics; Embedded Microsystems; From Cells to Organs: Molecular Mechanisms of Organogenesis; Signal Systems in Model Organisms of Plant Origin; Micro Energy Harvesting; and PhD program Computational Neuroscience at the Bernstein Center Freiburg for Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology.
Finally, the university operates three joint graduate schools with the Max Planck Society: the International Max Planck Research School for Molecular and Cellular Biology; the International Max Planck Research School on Retaliation, Mediation and Punishment; and the International Max Planck Research School for Comparative Criminal Law.
Together with the EUCOR universities of Basel and Strasbourg and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the University of Freiburg also runs the shared graduate school École supérieure de biotechnologie Strasbourg, enabling the students to obtain an international degree in biotechnology and a trilingual education, as classes are taught in English, German, and French.
University College Freiburg
University College Freiburg (UCF) is the University's central facility for promoting and administering international, interdisciplinary teaching activities. It complements and supports the faculties’ work in this field, serves as a laboratory for innovative approaches to teaching and instructional design, and houses high-profile projects, notably the bachelor's program in Liberal Arts and Sciences. This four-year degree is the University of Freiburg's first interdisciplinary, English-taught undergraduate program and the first of its kind in Germany. It started in October 2012. UCF works in close co-operation with the faculties, the Rectorate's departments for Instructional Development and International Relations, and with the Language Teaching Center.
International language courses
The University of Freiburg has offered German language courses for foreign students since 1911. The courses take place at the university's Language Teaching Centre ('Sprachlehrinstitut') during the semester breaks and attract students from over 50 nations to Freiburg. The intensive language lessons are bolstered by a supplementary program with lectures and seminars on German culture, politics, philosophy, and art, as well as excursions to the Black Forest, the Alsace region in France, Basel (Switzerland) or Lake Constance. In addition to classes for all language levels, professional German courses (e.g. business German) are also offered.
Sustentabilidad
The city of Freiburg is known for its environmentally friendly policies and focus on renewable energy and sustainability, attracting solar industry and research to the city. This environmentally conscious attitude also extends to the University of Freiburg which has founded the work group "Nachhaltige Universität Freiburg" (Sustainable University of Freiburg) and has drawn up environmental guidelines to be implemented in university practice.
The university has also founded the initiative Solar-Uni Freiburg in 2007, with the aim of further expanding its capabilities in sustainability and environmental research. Solar panels were installed on the roofs of university buildings. To bundle renewable energy research and teaching at the university, the Center for Renewable Energy (ZEE, Zentrum für Erneuerbare Energien), an interdisciplinary and cross-faculty facility, was founded. Aside from research in the fields of solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy, energy efficiency and new energies, an international Master of Science degree in Renewable Energy Management is being offered.
In addition to its own expertise, the Center for Renewable Energy can draw upon the support of the renewable energy industrial sector in Freiburg, as well as the university's cooperation with other research institutes in the area, such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, the Öko-Institut - Institute for Applied Ecology, or the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg.
