Entertaining, amazing and unknown facts

Today, Osnabrück University is a self-evident part of the city and the region: excellent research, exciting teaching  – and it is also one of the largest regional employers. But things could have turned out very differently: Only courageous decisions, but also coincidences, laid the groundwork for the University's success in Osnabrück.

On 16 steles, the exhibition offered an entertaining insight into the university's own history: from the long founding phase and difficult early years to consolidation and the ever-growing academic reputation in the various subject areas.
