Esslingen University of Applied Sciences - History

History

  • In 1868, a department for training mechanical engineers was set up in Stuttgart at the Königlich-Württembergischen Baugewerkeschule – the royal Württemberg school for construction. In 1914 the royal Württemberg construction school relocated to Esslingen, and with it around 600 young students. In 1938, the construction school was renamed as die Staatliche Ingenieurschule Esslingen, the Esslingen State School for Engineering and in January 1971, the engineering school developed into a university for applied sciences.
  • The Soziale Frauenschule (Social Women's’ School) of the Schwäbischen Frauenverein (Swabian Women's’ Association) was started in 1917 by a foundation established by Queen Charlotte of Wuerttemberg. This was the forerunner to the University of Applied Science for Social Work.
  • In 1998, the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences created its first English-language master's program, the MBA in International Industrial Management. The Esslingen Graduate School now runs and organizes three master's programs entirely in English: next to the MBA in International Industrial Management it also runs the MEng in Automotive Systems and the MEng in Design and Development of Automotive Engineering.
  • On 1 October 2006, the Esslingen Universities of Applied Sciences of Technology and Social Work were merged and are now a single entity known as Hochschule Esslingen in German. The English name of the university is the same.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
