Technical University of Hamburg

Founded in 1978 Technical University of Hamburg -Harburg (short: TUHH, English: Hamburg University of Technology) is a state university in Hamburg and is one of the recent technical universities in Germany. It is located in the district of Hamburg -Harburg in the district of Harburg.

Around 100 professors teach over 6000 students in 42 bachelor's and master's programs. With more than 1400 students grew in the winter semester 2013/2014 the number of newly enrolled students to a new record high in the history of TUHH. Already in the previous two years, this figure grew. Acting President since 1 April 2011, the biologist Garabed Antranikian. Vice- President are Jürgen Grabe (Research), Sönke Knutzen ( teaching) and Viktor Sigrist ( structure development).

The University is distinguished above all by its unusual structure, since there is no division into faculties, but a breakdown in research priorities, enabling closer cooperation between the various institutions.

History

The plans for a technical university in the Southern Elbe - area date back to the 1920s. The Technical University of Hamburg -Harburg was founded in 1978 with the aim to promote the structural transformation of the region. After 1980, the research was taken up, started in 1982 /1983 lists the teaching. First lectures were held in pubs in the early years, and later in the facilities and the resulting buildings on campus.

In 1979, the University Library of the Technical University of Hamburg -Harburg was founded.

The 1982 furnished university's technology transfer office was (since 2004 TUHH-Technologie GmbH: TuTech Innovation GmbH ) in 1992 as the first of its kind in Germany into an independent company spun off and is a service provider for Hamburg universities and resulting in the higher education environment startup companies. TuTech Innovation GmbH has its headquarters in Harburg's inland port (channel Hamburg).

In July 1998 the TUHH founded the Northern Institute of Technology Management ( NIT). Funded by company Business School NIT, together with the TUHH to an English double degree program.

In addition to the NIT was in the years 2007 to 2009, the Kühne School of Logistics and Management, in cooperation with the Kuehne Foundation emerged as the Business School of TUHH from the Hamburg School of Logistics, founded in 2003. The Kühne School grimaced with the conversion to an independent private Kühne Logistics University in HafenCity and the TUHH gave back its shares in the Kühne School.

In the summer of 2005, two new buildings were completed. In them the first shipbuilder and the city planners were housed that were previously housed in Lämmersieth in Barmbek and in the Woellmerstraße in Harburg. The city planners were transferred to the HafenCity University in 2006. As of April 2009, the city planners have moved to the Averhoffstraße on the Uhlenhorst, so that the rooms can be used by the TUHH.

Campus

The TUHH is largely a campus university. Their buildings are to be found almost all between the Black Mountain and the Eißendorferstraße. Only these offices are in the Harburg castle street, in the Blohmstraße and Schloßmühlendamm, and the Technology Center Hamburg -Finkenwerder (THF).

The Denickestraße divides the actual campus into a northern and a southern half. The southern part is surrounded by a park. Here you will find among others, three ponds. The northern part is almost completely paved.

The Student Services Hamburg operates the cafeteria at the Denickestraße and since March 2013 insgrüne the cafe shop. Opposite the refectory is the University Library. In the building of the University Library is also located the Campus Store and a Service Point Haspa. Furthermore, in Building F, the NIT, a cafe, and settled a gym.

Building

Some of the buildings have received proper names over the years. Thus, the elongated building Schwarzenbergstraße is called dragon 95. Other buildings have names like piece of cake ( lecture hall I), guard ( Building G ) or bathtub (Building N). The building Kasernenstraße 10 is called barracks. It is the student body available and is managed by this in-house.

In August 2009 it was announced that the location in the immediate vicinity of former pioneer barracks will be used for a basic renovation as a new main building. The listed building is largely intact and between the buildings glass courtyards be built. In the renovation of the barracks also flow five million euros from tuition fees. The foundation stone for the new main building on 17 September 2010.

University Library of the Technical University of Hamburg -Harburg

The University Library was founded in 1979 at the Technical University of Hamburg -Harburg (TUB HH) is located since 1991 in the heart of the campus and, with the cafeteria represents a central point of reference

Cafeteria

The canteen was opened in 1991 and offered 120 seats at that time. 1998, a conservatory was added and expand the capacity to 420 seats. 2200-2400 Lunch Every day between sold. Since the cafeteria capacity is no longer sufficient for the students and staff, the cafeteria was added in December 2011 by a Christmas market on campus. A rough plan is planning to rebuild the cafeteria until 2015 to make them more accessible to students.

Organization of teaching

Teaching at the TUHH is organized into six deaneries study:

• Construction (Head: Prof. Dr.- Ing Stephan Köster from the Institute of Wastewater Management and Water Protection. )
• Electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics (Head: Prof. Dr. Dieter Gollmann by the Institute for Security in Distributed Applications )

Tuition Fees

Tuition

The Student Finance Act on the introduction of tuition fees was decided on 28 June 2006 by the Hamburg Parliament and led to the initial collection of the fees in the amount of 500 euros in the summer semester 2007. Winter semester 2008/ 09 the height is lowered to 375 Euro per semester, and the model introduced downstream of the tuition fees. The Hamburg Parliament decided in 2011 to abolish the tuition for the winter semester 2012/2013 and to fully compensate.

Semester fee

The semester fee is payable by all students enrolled in the summer semester 2013 and is 281.10 euros.

September 11, 2001

Since the autumn of 2001, the TUHH is associated with the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in connection, as members of the so-called Hamburg cell studied at the TUHH and there talked a Islam Study Group. The best-known representatives of that group was Mohammed Atta, presumed leader of the assassins, who studied from 1993-1999 urban planning.

The rooms, which were used by the Islam -AG, now house various working groups of the TUHH. The rooms are under student management, so they can be used by all students for various purposes.

Regular events

Regularly following events at the TUHH will take place:

• Open Day
• TUHH4YOU - information session for prospective students
• Taster
• STEM Camp - Camp for scientific and technically gifted pupils
