(Redirected from University of Erlangen)
'Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen Nuremberg (''Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg'' (German), ''FAU'' (abbr.))', founded in 1742, is Bavaria's second largest state university with eleven faculties and 265 chairs. Of the faculties, nine are located in Erlangen and two in Nuremberg. There are 25,814 students enrolled (winter semester 2005/2006) at the university, of which about 2/3 are in Erlangen and 1/3 in Nuremberg. There are about 2,500 foreign students. With more than 10,000 employees, the university is the second largest in Bavaria.
The university was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Margrave Friedrich von Brandenburg-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 one of the first that had a majority of NSDAP 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.
The following faculties are part of the university:
(sorted in the order in which they were founded)

★ Science faculty III (geography, geology / mineralogy /paleontology)
★ Business- and social sciences faculty (1961) in Nuremberg
★ Technical Faculty (1966)
★ Pedagogical faculty (1972) in Nuremberg
