Reutlingen University is one of Germany’s leading universities, offering international academic programmes with close ties to industry and commerce. On our campus we have around 5200 students spread across five different Schools: Applied Chemistry, Engineering, ESB Business School, Informatics, and Textiles & Design.
Professors, Visiting Lecturers and administrative and technical staff guide these talented young people along their academic path.
We offer 46 degree programmes at Bachelor’s and Master’s level, in which we train the top executives of the future. At the same time it is very important to us to support our students’ personal development and to ensure that they become specialists and managers for whom social responsibility is second nature.
OUR HISTORY
Reutlingen University was founded in 1855 as a College of Weaving and Textiles. It was to be an institute for textile teaching and research, founded on the initiative of local industry, the town of Reutlingen and the Kingdom of Württemberg, and it has remained true to its roots right up to the present day. Reutlingen University still offers facilities for spinning, weaving and knitting.
A MODERN UNIVERSITY WITH A LONG TRADITION
Our unique research building, covering 7,700 square metres, accommodates the extensive workshops for textile teaching and experimentation. The large laboratories for the spinning of cotton, worsted and woollen yarns, weaving, weft and warp knitting, and textile finishing are located in this building.
Over the course of the years the name of the institution was changed to State Engineering College, which then developed into a University of Applied Sciences, and new areas of teaching were opened up: Engineering, Business Administration, Chemistry and Informatics extended the range of subjects offered, forming the foundation for today’s Reutlingen University and its five Schools.
