Founded in 1388 by the city's burghers (becoming the fourth-oldest university in Central Europe after Prague, Vienna, Heidelberg), closed by Napoleon 1798, refounded 1919 as a modern university. Approximately 52,000 students — one of Germany's largest universities. Notable alumni: Konrad Adenauer (first West German Chancellor — Mayor of Cologne 1917-33, dismissed by Nazis, returned 1945), Pope John Paul II (briefly studied here during his time as a young priest).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
