Technische Universität Darmstadt | TU Darmstadt

About

On 10 October 1877, Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, elevated the Polytechnische Schule to Technische Hochschule zu Darmstadt and thereby raised the status of this educational institution to that of a university so that the Abitur (a school leaving certificate from German Gymnasium schools qualifying for university admission or matriculation) became a requirement for admissions.[19] In 1899, the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt was granted the right to award doctorates.
