50 Jahre Hochschule Augsburg

Forward thinking since 1710

 

Our university has a long and successful history in Augsburg. In 1710, the private art school of the artist Joachim von Sandrart was taken over by the Reichsstädtische Kunstakademie (Augsburg Municipal Academy of the Arts) and higher education was made available to the general public in Augsburg.

In 1835 the Kunstakademie was integrated into the then two-year-old “Königliche Polytechnische Schule”, and continued life as a polytechnic for design and engineering.

In 1971, after many years as an engineering and design school, the university entered a new phase, when the University of Applied Sciences was founded. Three years later Business Studies was added to the existing disciplines of design and engineering.
