Wuerzburg University Information
Located in the rich Bavarian region of Germany, the University of Würzburg was first established in 1402, however it soon closed due to lack of, and misspending of funds. The current university can still trace its roots back to the early 16th century, having been re-established in 1582 by Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn who established a strongly catholic institution of learning.
Today the university has a strong reputation in the fields of science, and in Medicine. Over the years the University of Würzburg has had no less than 13 nobel laureates who have either carried out research at the university or associated with it in some other way. These include:
Physics prize winners: Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen; Ferdinand Braun; Max von Laue; Johannes Stark; Wilhelm Wien; and Klaus von Klitzing.
Chemistry prize winners: Emil Fischer; Svante Arrhenius; Eduard Buchner; Walther Hermann Nernst; and Hartmut Michel.
Medicine Prize winners: Karl Landsteiner; and Hans Spemann.
