History

The University has its roots in the Jesuiten-Kolleg Münster, which was founded in 1588. But today's University of Münster was founded in 1780 with four faculties: Law, Health Science (Medicine), Philosophy and Theology. The ceremony of constitution was performed by Franz Freiherr von Fürstenberg. In 1805 the university was extended to the Prussian University of Westphalia. It got its current name from Emperor Wilhelm II in 1907: Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität (WWU).
