About Leuphana University of Lueneburg

Ori­gi­nal­ly foun­ded in 1948 as a teacher-trai­ning col­le­ge, Leu­pha­na Uni­ver­si­ty of Luene­burg was gran­ted uni­ver­si­ty sta­tus in 1989. Leu­pha­na is a young uni­ver­si­ty that lays em­pha­sis on in­no­va­ti­on, ra­ther than tra­di­ti­on. It is con­ti­nuous­ly as­pi­ring to crea­te a space sti­mu­la­ted by a collec­tive se­arch for know­ledge and sustainable so­lu­ti­ons. 


About Lueneburg

Located between Hamburg and Hannover, Lueneburg is an attractive and historic town on the River Ilmenau, surrounded by the Lueneburg Heath in the North German state of Lower Saxony. The town lies about 50 km southeast of Hamburg and is is the capital of the district of Lueneburg with a population of around 70,000. In the town centre, you may encounter its history wherever you go, and it becomes evident that salt was the most valuable asset back in the day. Salt was extracted in the Lueneburger Saline (Lueneburg Saltworks) for more than 1,000 years. Trading this precious “white gold” meant that the town accumulated wealth and commanded respect in the Middle Ages.
