Few people know that Duisburg is one of the oldest university towns in Germany. Duisburg’s first University was officially opened in 1655, but was dissolved in 1818 in favor of the newly founded university in Bonn.Now the Universität Duisburg-Essen is Germany’s youngest university, only a few decades later the university was in competition with the much better equipped dutch universities. Since only about one third of the population in the western provinces of Prussia were member of the reformed church, most Lutheran and Catholic citizens in the second half of the 18th century, sent their sons to other universities.
The university declined rapidly and was on 18 October 1818 due to a Cabinet Order of Friedrich Wilhelm III. officially lifted. At the same time, the University of Bonn was founded. Large parts of the Duisburg University Library were relocated to Bonn and then formed the basis of the newly formed Bonner Library.Read more ...
