Originally founded in 1477, closed by Napoleon in 1798, refounded in 1946 by French occupation authorities post-WW2. Named after Johannes Gutenberg (~1400-1468) — Mainz citizen and inventor of the printing press with movable type (~1440), one of the most consequential inventions in human history. Approximately 32,000 students. Note: Refoundation in 1946 specifically intended as a 'civic' university breaking from Nazi-era institutional continuity — a 'fresh start' approach by French occupiers.
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).
