Geography

The complex is surrounded by the University of Konstanz Mainau Forest in Egg district, 200 meters west of the old village of Egg beyond the Mainaustraße. The campus is connected with the village about two Fußgänger-/Radfahrerbrücken. The sports grounds of the University is like the village on the lake side facing the street, northwest of Egg. Until the incorporation of the former town Allmannsdorf in the city of Konstanz on 1 January 1915, the entire area was part of the former town.

History

In the 17th and 18th centuries existed in Konstanz briefly a university. The offshoot of the University of Freiburg was (now the Administration of Justice on the Lower arbor ) housed in Lanzenhof and was in the years 1686 - operated 1715 - 1698 and 1713.

Today's University of Konstanz was founded in 1966 as a reform university. In the early years it was housed in various buildings in the city center, was opened on the Gießberg to 1972 the campus with an area of 90,000 square meters. The logo of the university was created in 1980 by Otl Aicher.

On the establishment of institutes was omitted in their place came immediately ( less than usual tailored ) faculties and departments, should develop the teaching of research. In order to overcome the boundaries between subjects better, the concept of a campus university was taken from the Anglo-Saxon, and administrative and service facilities such as cafeteria and library were centralized. The reform projects, the relocation of large parts of the doctrine of lectures in seminars or tutorial groups and following it was the concept of the course examinations.

Was conducted as a pilot experiment in the 1970s and 1980s, the stage of legal education in the practice phase and the study were closely interlinked. Initially, there was also the Social Science Basic Studies in which management scientists, economists and lawyers were trained together.

After many of these projects were leaked, "invented" the university due to the proposals of the Commission Mittelstraß entirely new: Since 1999, the university is divided into three sections in which the 13 departments are encouraged to greater cooperation. The existing faculties and departments were resolved in favor of the departments, the duties of the faculties within the meaning of the State Higher Education Act henceforth meet the three sections. Was maintaining the consistent centralization of service facilities. The open around the clock library In particular, in all the books are freely accessible, is a well-known feature of the University. It is, however, expected to be in October 2015 only limited use, since a substantial refurbishment is further become necessary parts since November 2010 as a result of exposure to asbestos.

Since 2012, library, computer center and to improve services in a common Organsisationseinheit "Service composite Communication - Information - Media ( KIM ) " bundled.

The future concept of the university with the title " Modell Konstanz - towards a culture of creativity " was adopted in the framework of the Excellence Initiative on 19 October 2007. In addition, there are currently five special research areas in operation, and the " Research for young researchers " came across nationwide interest, following the university was dubbed by the media as " Mini Harvard on Lake Constance ". In the third-party funding and research raising the university in 2009 for the first time is one of the top 20 of the German universities in the DFG Funding Ranking. In terms of third-party funds per professorship she comes here even on the second place. On 15 June 2012, announced that Constance was also successful in the Second Excellence Initiative and could defend its status as a research-intensive university of excellence.

Organization

Faculties and Departments

Mathematics and Statistics
Physics
Psychology

Faculty of Humanities

History and Sociology with Sport Science
Literature with Media Studies and Art History

Central Facilities

The university maintains a number of key facilities:

The service composite Communication - Information - Media ( KIM ) bundles since 2012 the capacity of the date organisationally independent library, administration and data center and to improve the service for the members of the University.

The library of the University of Konstanz is designed as a central library for all departments and maintains a level of more than two million volumes ready. In the library index for academic libraries, she was awarded in 2010 for the third year in a row as the best in their class library. In 2010 she was also awarded the German Library Association and the Library of the Year title, 2010, the Zeit Foundation. In autumn 2010, however, the library due to elevated asbestos levels had to be closed in many parts; In early 2011 it was decided to undergo the largest part of the complex in the following years, a substantial refurbishment. For the duration of construction, most book collections are outsourced, but where they can still be used by magazine orders. This is sorely needed, as the University of Konstanz does not have the institute or seminary libraries, but is dependent on the Central Library.
The data center takes care of the information and communication infrastructure and provides support services in connection with the use of the campus wireless network and various software -side problems with different operating systems. It maintains, inter alia, the university's e- mail services, as well as hosting and Sicherheitslösungsungen for the members of the University.

For international relations with other universities, the International Office is responsible. It is also the contact point for incoming students and advises students who want to go abroad.
The Career Service is a joint facility of the University with the Commerce and Industry Chamber of the Upper Rhine and Lake Constance. It supports students to start their career and helps employers find new employees.
The Language Institute (SLI ) bundles all activities for foreign language training.
The Student Service Centre ( SRC) is since 2010 the various points of contact for students who implement especially bureaucratic processes (enrollment, fees beings, certificates), bundled provide.
Of importance are the central committees of the university. Constance A special feature is especially the Committee on Research (AFF ); this body, in which each section four representatives ( three professors and academic staff ) sends, allows a high -school competition for research funds: Each doctorate member of the University may at AFF apply for material and personnel resources for a period of up to two years. Normally, this will serve the initial funding of third-party funding research projects; during the Excellence Initiative, the AFF is up next and the distribution of a substantial portion of the additional funds.

The BAFöG counseling and other social services, as well as the food supply ( cafeteria) and the provision and maintenance of student housing development ( dormitories ) assumes the responsible for the University of Konstanz on regional students Seezeit.

The Rectorate exerts the right, but not the technical supervision and participates in the regulatory activity with ( § 65b ABs. 6 LHG).

The student body is by law a member of the National Students Union of Baden- Württemberg ( § 65a para 8 LHG). In addition, she has taken up with a resolution of StuPa and approval of the LEO in January 2014, succeeding the former U student union in fzs.

Traditional tasks that are perceived the student body representatives in other states are, in the absence of previous agreements the LHG remained after the student Seezeit, in particular the semester ticket and BAFöG advice.

Organization

The student body is organized by the assumed in a ballot in accordance with Article 3 § 1 of the Written - student body organization law statutes of the student body in its basic features, based on the provisions of the LHG and structured. Other laws govern the details of finance, elections and the study Fachschaften etc.

The student body is divided into a central level ( the student body as such) and currently has 16 study Fachschaften (SFS ), each comprising all students in a department or closer related courses and take over the tasks of the student body on this dezantralen level on their own responsibility. Since the LHG the term the student body to the faculty or sections binds ( § 65a para 4 LHG), this form of breakdown has been chosen with a different name in order to meet the needs of bensonderen comparatively small university. Lack an appropriate facility at the university level are assigned to study student bodies of their main subjects the Lehramststudierenden. Their special interests are represented in a working group teaching and private Unit in the student union.

Organs

At central level, the student body has pursuant to the statutes of the following organs through which it is acting within the LHG:

An executive, consisting of: two chairpersons as legal representative within the meaning of LHG, which in each case an incumbent is elected by each one of the parliamentary chambers
The chosen StuPa and confirmed by the FSK Financial Counsellors

Basic issues such as the decision of statutes or of the household are treated by a joint session of both chambers and decided ( called LEO for " legislative body " within the meaning of § 65a para 3 LHG ), both chambers of the same number of seats have and the unterzähligen seats Rated to be compared with the StuPa supplemented by additional seats for the largest study of student councils. The LEO has ultimate decision-making authority in all matters of the student body and to annul decisions of all other organs with special quorum.

In addition to the General Assembly (VV ) and the ballot, there are possibilities of direct democratic participation of students. Excluded are household and contribution rules.

In the judicial area is a conciliation commission as dispute resolution and statute interpretation organ in jurisdictional disputes between organs or complaints from individual students on the activities of the student body. Legal supervision complaint to the principal, and the administrative courts are unaffected.

With completion of the initial constituent meetings of all organs and July 2013, the student body has legal personality constituted as a corporation.

Relation to the university's self- management

The student representatives in university self-government (Senate, committees, sectional and departmental councils, appointment committees, audit committees ) are independent of the student body and as such are elected or appointed by separate procedures according to the constitution of the university. Personal union is not excluded. In particular, the student senators are regularly elected members of the StuPa. The organs of the student body have a right of information and ask questions to all organs of the University. In general, the student council meetings make nominations for the election of student representatives to the departmental and section councils. Any agency representatives ( appointment committees, student services, committees ) are nominated by the competent organs of the student body appointed in actual practice by the competent according to the constitution of the University authorities. Statutes are published in the official publication of the university, where they set came into force at.

Finances

The student body has for the LHG their own financial autonomy, being subject to the supervision of the Court of the country and a specific test method. It has its own budget, which is adopted by a financial regulation for one year and is part of the budget of the university. In order to secure a solid financial base for the fulfillment of orders placed by LHG tasks, elevating the student body of all students to contribute in a reasonable amount due is decided by the LEO contribution rules from the current 10 euros. This is the first time as the CB 2014 /15 campaign. Expense allowances are granted occasionally, to the extent permitted by law. It applies after the applicable also for the student body Landeshaushaltsordnung the principle of unity fund, ie Financial dispositions may be effected only by the cashier ( Finance Officer ) and any other agency.

Student university groups and associations

Regardless of the corporative structures of the student body are made as also previously a variety of student initiatives and associations that pursue a variety of interests and goals in order to contribute to the cultural, political and social diversity at the university. The university offers the opportunity to reward this Engament and officially entered the Grupüpen as university groups on the student council in a high school group register and recognize thus as part of the University because of a policy of the rector. The legal form is irrelevant, there are unincorporated associations, registered associations, civil law to common interest finding against the university and the institutions of the student body, there is the possibility of a university group conference as a Plenary Assembly of the recognized university groups.

A special position to take a political university groups, which reflect generally the political parties, even though they may be independent of these. The political university groups currently occupy all the seats in StuPa, even if the statute could also compete after high school group independent electoral lists.

The following high school groups are currently active at the University:

Political university groups

The Linke.SDS
Green university group Konstanz ( GHG)
Young Socialist university group Konstanz
Liberal University of Konstanz group
RCDS Constance
The Grey
G.R.Ü.N. and scrap

These groups are each represented by at least one seat on the StuPa.

Alternative high school group
Hayek Club Konstanz
H.O.C.H.S.C.H.U.L.G.R.U.P.P.E Constance

The political parties are as such a number of hurdles in terms of activity at university set, so that they act mainly as a rule by the ( privileged ) high school groups.
