Shaping the future – for the past 50 years
On 1 April 2020, HAW Hamburg marked 50 years since its founding in 1970. That year, various institutions joined together to form the Fachhochschule Hamburg, which offered engineering training at the university level in Hamburg for the first time. The saying at the time was 'Engineers come from Berliner Tor.'
Fifty years of applied science in Hamburg – that's 50 years of lively exchange between our university and many important societal actors. We've been shaping the future for the past 50 years, and we want to show this on our anniversary.
