Universität Museum

The University Museum provides the historical background of the university and Germany during World War II. It is fascinating to read about professors and student's lives during the Nazi regime, and how bits of history are still incorporated in the university today.

"Non-Aryans" lost privileges- such as, jobs, eligibility to attend the university and other rights. In 1933, new laws were implemented that forbade non-Aryan instructors from working at the university, and a new staff was replaced by the Nazi Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). In 1939, during the start of World War II, all universities were closed except for the departments that were applicable to the war efforts- law, medicine, physics and institute for interpreting; even today, the university  is well-known for its strong physics and medical department.
