📖 Introduction

Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is a public research university located in Munich, Germany. The University of Munich is Germany's sixth-oldest university in continuous operation. Ludwig Maximilian Universität München is a leading research university in Europe. Since its founding in 1472 it has been committed to the highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching. Its vibrant campuses are distributed in and around Munich, a city renowned for culture and the sciences.

Over the course of five centuries, LMU has been at the center of religious and political transformations. It was a bulwark of the Counter Reformation. Jesuits, secular reformers and Nobel Laureates all contributed to its fame. But its standing was gravely damaged during the 12 years of Nazi dictatorship, when fanatical adherents of Nazi ideology transformed the venerable institution into a pliant tool of the regime.
