History
The university was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Frederick, Margrave of Bayreuth, and moved to Erlangen in 1743. From the beginning, the university was a Protestant institution, but it slowly secularized. During the Nazi era, the university was it of the first that had a majority of Nazi supporters in the student council. In 1961 the business college in Nuremberg was merged with the university in Erlangen, which led to the present state of a university divided between two towns. A technical faculty was inaugurated in 1966 and the pedagogical college in Nuremberg became part of the university in 1972.
