: The 200 Years Anniversary of TU Wien in 2015 happened in a difficult context: Like all Austrian Universities, TU Wien since 2004 had experienced a period of far reaching organizational reforms, challenging, among other things, the corporate identity of its members. In addition, it had to compete with two other Viennese universities (Vienna University and Vienna University of Veteri-nary Medicine), who also celebrated their anniversaries in 2015, for resources and public attention. The paper examines the strategies of TU Wien to gain a maxi-mum of attention for its unique scientific competencies and at the same time strengthen internal corporate identity. Reviewing the celebrations of earlier anniversaries, this contribution shows which festive traditions were continued and which new ways of defining and presenting a corporate image of the university were developed. In addition, the strategies of TU Wien are compared with those of its two competitors in anniversary celebration, using commemorative publicati-ons and other media, to point out differences and similarities of the respective festive cultures.

: University anniversaries and jubilees are a central aspect of university communication and they exemplify the interdependencies of both tradition and innovation, past and future. Consciously or unintentionally, jubilee festivities and celebrations serve to create sense internally, to reassure the university ′ s out-ward position and to intensify its communication with the surrounding society. This raises the question of whether and how institutions of higher education have celebrated such occasions in the past, especially in times of social upheaval and crisis – which undoubtedly included the period of the Second World War. This article adopts the perspective of an integrative university history and uses the example of two different types of higher education institutions to ask about the social and political function of their anniversaries. The festivities under scrutiny are the ones at the University of Kiel and at the Technical College Vienna (Technische Hochschule). Both institutions celebrated their anniversaries in 1940 despite – or perhaps precisely because of – the war situation. The focus is on the festive lectures and on the basic conditions for the celebrations as well as for the corresponding jubilee writings. The question is to what extent the actors involved endeavoured to view the historical stages of the university ’ s history from a National Socialist angle and whether they formulated tangible visions of their institution ′ s future.

: The reopening of the Technische Hochschule Berlin after the Second World War was prohibited by the Allies due to the institution ’ s strong involvement in Nazi war crimes. Instead they demanded to reestablish the institution as a Technical University – the first of its kind in Germany. As such, the institution was obligated to set up a department of humanities. One of the purposes of this new found department was to investigate the history of the institution during the NS-regime. By examining institutional jubilees celebrated after World War II, this contribution analyzes how the University dealt with its Nazi past with a long term perspective. The article regards these anniversaries as benchmarks to check whether the institutional status of educational establishments has an influence on its culture of remembrance. The article suggests an approach different form prevalent concepts regarding university jubilees as not just cultural but also political events.Ultimately the text argues, that jubilees do not only correspond with an obscure Zeitgeist, but also with specific political interests of individuals and groups.

: Anniversary festschrifts are part of the traditional practice of celebrating a university jubilee. Also, they play an important role in the historiography of universities. Focusing the young universities of Bremen and Kassel (both founded in 1971), this article examines how and why institutions founded as models of reform and renewal use this canonized practice to create meaning. The ex-planations are guided by the thesis that the change of the institutions and their self-perception is reflected in the anniversary publications. They represent a specific self-image in regards to higher education policies and history in each case. Despite the many differences in the structural conditions of the institutions, the analysis of the commemorative publications from 1981, 1991, 1996 and 2011 shows a common path from self-assurance and a focus on reflecting the founding ideas to the programmatic reorientation as a research university and its confident role for the surrounding region.

: French universities have not developed an equally significant anniversary culture as have, for example, the German universities. This is particularly true of the University of Strasbourg, whose history is deeply marked by the con-flicts between France and Germany. For this contribution, publications which appeared on commemorations and anniversaries as well as digitised archive document have been analysed for a reflection on the commemoration of four crucial years in the history of the modern University of Strasbourg, namely 1919, 1939, 1943 and 1945. The analysis shows, in particular, that the historic events between 1939 and 1945 are still highly relevant for today ’ s commemorative events. The fact that the year 1919 (refoundation of the French University) and the year 1945 (return from the exile in Clermont-Ferrand) were apparently never comme-morated could be related to the university ’ s desire for a „ European “ image, in the sense of a performative approach which contains an expectation of the future. This would preclude any resurgence of commemorative nationalism as might be deciphered from an anniversary celebration of the return and reopening of the French university after the German defeat in 1945. In contrast, and at the same time, the university cherishes the memory of the victims of the National Socialist occupation, some of whom were French Resistance fighters. This reveals a dual, sometimes contradictory, strategy which makes it difficult for the University of Strasbourg to build a stable identity. In addition, the existence of the National Socialist „ Reichsuniversität “ has only recently been officially taken into account. Decades of „ staging university history “ seem to have sensibly shaped the imagi-nary order.

: The implementation of Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhoch-schulen) was one aspect of the reforms in West German higher education in the 1970s. But outside of anniversary publications, there is little research about this new type of university. The article focuses on how anniversary publications were used as a policy instrument at the still young Protestant University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt. Using the example of the church-based university, which was freed from its familiar structures and hierarchies by the university reform, it can be shown how the commemorative publications served as self-assurance as well as legitimization towards the responsible regional church. In the process, the celebrated anniversaries demonstrated the long tradition of the young university in the field of social work but were also used to overplay unwelcome aspects; especially the conflicts arising from the new form of governance between the students, the professors as well as the regional church. Against this background, the anniversary publications served to consolidate the sovereignty of individual disciplines within the university, but nevertheless offered a positive historical identity for university members.

: This article aims to compare speeches that were delivered in the 19 th century at the Ludwig Maximilian University and the Technical University of Munich on an annual and routine base with speeches for anniversaries and other exceptional occasions. In so doing, this contribution sheds light on the role the academic speech culture played in endowing university culture with meaning, a typical feature of university anniversaries and other festivities. So far, the research perspective on university speeches has hardly been explicitly linked to the inc-reased interest of university historiography in academic festivities.The article first addresses the seemingly obvious difference between the serial nature of annual university (for example, at the inauguration of the rector) and the singularity of speeches on the occasion of an anniversary. In a second step, the author analyses whether the speakers of jubilee speeches had really designed them for a singular and exception purpose and whether they succeeded in escaping the attraction that the seriality of the annual speeches and their parameters emanated.

: The paper examines the failed jubilee of the University of Innsbruck in 1877. Due to a conflict in the senate of the university, the professors were not willing to organize the 200 th anniversary celebration of the university ’ s foundation. In this situation, students took over and tried to plan the university ’ s jubilee. However, the students failed in doing so, since they could not reach an agreement whether a catholic Mass should be part of the festivities. For this reason, only some smaller celebrations took place held by student fraternities,which ended in street fights and a scandal.The paper analyses the reasons for the failed jubilee in the context of the public debate on clerical control of the educational system in the Habsburg Monarchy and the discussion on the role of the church in the university at the time of the university ’ s foundation and in the contemporary era. Furthermore, it deals with concepts of cultural memory and performative prac-tices associated with the jubilee. oft Theilnahme hofft, Oesterreichs diesem Fest ihrer regen Antheil nehmen

The year 1977 marked the 450 and 500 anniversaries, respectively, of both the founding of the University of Marburg and Tübingen. Due to a series of upheavals, financial shortfalls and protests in the university sector since the 1960s the jubilees were not perceived as an occasion for cheers by everyone. The paper understands the anniversaries as a probe which can shed light on contemporary problem diagnoses and lines of conflict. By examining not only the official program, but rather a wide range of history types such as counter-festivities and counter-publications, conclusions can be drawn about diverging ideas regarding the identity of the university and the role of its different members. Despite several celebratory elements, the anniversary in Marburg was framed as a critical appraisal of the current situation with a participatory approach. Particular attention was attracted by a counter-celebration hosted by conservative professors,who used the opportunity for a general reckoning with university reforms. In Tübingen however, where the official program was altogether much more solemnly, it came to no comparable conservative protest, but instead to a student counter-jubilee.
