On the Matter WWU

On April 5, 2023, the Senate of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität (WWU for short) decided to remove Wilhelm II from its name. Since October 1, 2023, it has therefore been called "University of Münster". The decision was preceded by a public discussion process, which also included the project "Zur Sache WWU". This website documents the project and the media response. The comment function was deactivated on October 1, 2023. You can still send questions and suggestions to: zentrale.kustodie@uni-muenster.de.
