Congratulations, Herr Kuhlmann!

Edmund Kuhlmann, founder of the E.W. Kuhlmann Foundation and loyal supporter of the University of Hildesheim, turned 94 in the last few days. His secret recipe for old age is to pursue work that fills you with joy and to see it as an elixir of life, because joy is life-enhancing. "He who rests, rusts. If you rust, you die soon." Mr. Kuhlmann has never rested, as his eventful life testifies.
Born in Wilhelmshaven in 1930, he spent his school years in Hamburg. He did not complete regular high school because the war and the bombing of his school intervened. While working as a court clerk, he attended evening secondary school to complete his Abitur. This was followed by a degree in economics.

New: Friends of Uni Midsummer Night


Donations wanted for a continued admission-free Uni Midsummer Night!

The Uni Midsummer Night will continue to be open to everyone in 2023. No admission fee will be charged. This was possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors and cultural institutions. However, this will not be enough to ensure that the Uni Midsummer Night remains admission-free in the future. We will also be dependent on private donations in 2024.

If you are able, we would be delighted if you could join the Friends of the University Midsummer Night. This is what we will call the group of people who donate at least 100 euros each to the Uni Midsummer Night.

Giving Tuesday


Dear friends of our university, dear supporters and dear alumni!

For several years now, a big "wave of savings" has been spreading at the end of November. The so-called Black Friday is approaching. For some it is "consumer terror", for others it is a cherished moment for "shopping and saving". And of course there are people on a tight budget who finally see this as an opportunity to buy urgently needed items at a reasonable price. In this respect, this day is ambivalent.

I just want to take this as an opportunity to draw attention to another day that immediately follows on Tuesday, November 29th: Giving Tuesday. This is the global day of giving, the day on which people are encouraged to donate as much as they can.

The new Stifterbreif is available 

For many years the University of Hildesheim has had a social fund that is used to provide financial support to students in particular emergencies. Many students have benefited from this and in some cases have only been able to continue and complete their studies because of the Social Fund. The Social Fund is a central topic in the new Stifterbrief. You will also find current information from the University of Hildesheim Foundation, dates, and other funding opportunities in the Stifterbrief 2022. Enjoy the new issue.
