Abstract

The precise conception of a Humboldtian university is still a matter in dispute. In the constant crisis and transformations underwent by these institutions, the Humboldtian conception is frequently mentioned as an argument by opposed parts. In this paper, I will take up the following lines of argumentation: (1) an examination of the cultural and political necessities on the background of the creation of a university in Berlin; (2) a demonstration of how Wilhelm von Humboldt planned the coordinated reform of the entire Prussian teaching and research network; (3) explain how, during this process, the new research university that takes technology into account was created.
