Proud of our roots 

The history of our university goes back as far as 1823, when the state polytechnic was founded - one of the first. Our university is not just named after the world famous physicist Georg Simon Ohm, but he also worked here from 1839 to 1849 as rector and professor of physics and mathematics.

The Greek omega in our logo stands for the largest discovery by Georg Simon Ohm: electrical resistance. The "Ohm" stands for the international unity of electrical resistance since 1893.

Outstanding performance

We are equally proud of our numerous awards for our special services in recent times. Current examples are the prize of Stifterverbands for German science as one of the three best universities nationwide in further education and the title "family-oriented university" of the Hertie foundation.
