LUDWIG-MAXIMILIANS-UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN GEBUNDEN

Founded in Ingolstadt in 1472  where it remained for more than 300 years 
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München was moved to Landshut in 1800  only to find its ultimate
location in Munich just a quarter of a century later in 1826. Illustrated with documents 
portraits  and numerous other pictures  this volume on the university's history is an
impressive record of the course taken by LMU Munich from an educational establishment in the
Late Middle Ages to a top university of international renown in the 21st century. The more than
500-year history of LMU is marked by a number of decisive turn-ing points. Time and again  the
university had to face major political and social challenges  the effects of which can still be
seen today. The history of LMU is also  as it were  a reflection of the history of Bavaria.
Largely brought into line under the National Socialists  the university experienced the darkest
period in its his-tory. Despite being virtually completely destroyed during the war  it was
however still possible for the constitutional convention of 1946 to be held in the aula maxima
that had remained unscathed. LMU was rebuilt thanks to concerted efforts and  in the decades to
follow  developed into Bavaria's largest university of an excellent reputation on international
level. As such  it not only retained the character of a Landesuniversität (state university) as
Louis the Rich  Duke of Bavaria  had intended  but beyond that gained an extensive significance
and outreach.
