It was founded in 1914 as a citizens' university, which means it was founded and funded by the wealthy and active liberal citizenry of Frankfurt. The original name in German was '''Universität Frankfurt am Main'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=UniReport |url=http://www.unireport.info/44481633/unireport-04-2008.pdf? |access-date=26 September 2022 |archive-date=28 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928192616/https://www.unireport.info/44481633/unireport-04-2008.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> In 1932, the university's name was extended in honour of one of the most famous native sons of Frankfurt, the poet, philosopher and writer/dramatist [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]]. The university currently has around 45,000 students, distributed across four major campuses within the city.
 
The university celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2014.

Goethe University is part of the [[IT cluster Rhine-Main-Neckar]]. The [[Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz]], the Goethe University Frankfurt and the [[Technische Universität Darmstadt]] together form the [[Rhine-Main-Universities]] (RMU).
Line 119:
The university's relocation programme, which has been intensified since the mid-1990s, aims to create a de facto three-campus university in the future. To this end, the units currently located in the Bockenheim district are also to be relocated, but not the sports grounds.
 
The public [[Botanical Garden Frankfurt|Botanical Garden Frankfurt am Main]] at the end of Siesmayerstraße, formerly associated with the biology campus (1956–20111956-2011), has been transferred to the City of Frankfurt am Main and the responsibility of the [[Palmengarten]]. Parts of the former Bockenheim campus, including the historic Jügelhaus, have been taken over by the [[Senckenberg Nature Research Society|Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung]], while other parts have been left to local urban development. The formerly numerous other scattered university buildings in the Bockenheim district have been abandoned and partly demolished, partly put to other uses.
 
==Goethe Business School==
The [[Goethe Business School]] is a graduate business school at the university, established in 2004, part of the [[House of Finance]] at the Westend Campus and the IKB building. It is a non-profit foundation under private law held by the university. Its board of directors is led by [[Rolf-Ernst Breuer]], who was chairman of the board of [[Deutsche Bank]] until 2006.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ft.com/content/cde1ede0-c274-11da-ac03-0000779e2340|title=Breuer steps down from Deutsche Bank|work=Financial Times|access-date=20 March 2024|archive-date=20 March 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240320134045/https://www.ft.com/content/cde1ede0-c274-11da-ac03-0000779e2340|url-status=live}}</ref> The school has maintained a partnership in Executive Education with the [[Indian School of Business]] (ISB) since 2009.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://idw-online.de/de/news332615|title=Goethe Business School schließt Partnerschaft mit Indian School of Business|last=Jaspers|first=Ulrike|access-date=20 March 2024-03-20|language=German|archive-date=20 March 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240320134046/https://idw-online.de/de/news332615|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
==Logo==
The word/image mark used from 1980 to 2002 was developed by [[Adrian Frutiger]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Über den Namensgeber der Goethe-Universität |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/38772812/%C3%9Cber_den_Namensgeber_der_Goethe_Universit%C3%A4t |access-date=2024-05-14 May|website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |websitearchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819060918/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/38772812/%C3%9Cber_den_Namensgeber_der_Goethe_Universit%C3%A4t |url-status=live }}</ref> There are different types of basically the same logo.

As old university logos never really "expire", they remain valid. Since 2008, the university administration has made various changes to the practical name of the university and, accordingly, to the logo.
 
On 26 September 2016, another logo was also registered at the [[German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] as an individual trade mark, consisting only of the words "GOETHE UNIVERSITY".<ref>{{Cite web |title=DPMAregister {{!}} Marken - Registerauskunft |url=https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/3020161087730/DE |access-date=15 May 2024-05-15 |website=register.dpma.de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054230/https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/3020161087730/DE |url-status=live }}</ref> However, this logo is not currently in use.

=== Political university groups ===
According to information from the university, the political university groups are as follows:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Politische Hochschulgruppen |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/85317271/Politische_Hochschulgruppen |access-date=21 May 2024-05-21 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de}}</ref>
 
* DGB Hochschulgruppe Frankfurt am Main
Line 155:
* Rosa*Liste
 
There is little public information on the individual university groups and the work of the university committees, as there is usually only up-to-date information on university politics and/or university political actors on the respective websites of the [[AStA|General Students' Committee]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=StuPa-Archiv {{!}} AStA Uni FFM {{!}} Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss der Goethe-Universität |url=https://asta-frankfurt.de/gremien/studierendenparlament-stupa/stupa-archiv |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=asta-frankfurt.de |language=de |archive-date=20 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240520210113/https://asta-frankfurt.de/gremien/studierendenparlament-stupa/stupa-archiv |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Wahlen {{!}} AStA Uni FFM {{!}} Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss der Goethe-Universität |url=https://asta-frankfurt.de/themen/wahlen |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=asta-frankfurt.de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054110/https://asta-frankfurt.de/themen/wahlen |url-status=live }}</ref> and the respective university parties, as well as representations in social networks.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Studierendenparlament - Goethe-Uni Frankfurt am Main |url=https://www.facebook.com/stupaffm/ |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=Facebook |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054318/https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fstupaffm%2F |url-status=live }}</ref> Further information and archives on university policy work at Goethe University do not exist, which is why there is hardly any transparency about university policy. There are official publications on the Goethe University website, which must be made in accordance with the Hessian Higher Education Act. These can also be found in the [[German National Library]].
 
Little can be said about the political significance of university politics due to the lack of transparency in university politics as a whole and the lack of interest in its activities.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 July 2020-07-17 |title=Nach Durchsuchung: Wie links und wie extrem ist Frankfurts Asta? |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/nach-durchsuchung-wie-links-und-wie-extrem-ist-frankfurts-asta-16864113.html |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=FAZ.NET |language=de |archive-date=20 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240520210114/https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/nach-durchsuchung-wie-links-und-wie-extrem-ist-frankfurts-asta-16864113.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=22 June 2020-06-22 |title=Nach Durchsuchung Kritik an Asta der Uni Frankfurt |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/nach-durchsuchung-kritik-an-asta-der-uni-frankfurt-16826896.html |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=FAZ.NET |language=de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054134/https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/nach-durchsuchung-kritik-an-asta-der-uni-frankfurt-16826896.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Melde- und Beratungsstelle gegen Extremismus an hessischen Universitäten |url=https://www.rcds-hessen.de/themen/beschluesse/20-q8d96ZyZTA/ |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=RCDS Hessen |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054120/https://www.rcds-hessen.de/themen/beschluesse/20-q8d96ZyZTA/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=LHG kritisiert das Verhalten des AStA |url=http://lhg-ffm.de/lhg-kritisiert-das-verhalten-des-asta/ |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=lhg-ffm.de |language=de-DE |archive-date=5 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205092832/https://lhg-ffm.de/lhg-kritisiert-das-verhalten-des-asta/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Students are not very interested in university politics due to a voter turnout of less than 15%<ref>{{Cite web |date=11 July 2022-07-11 |title=Goethe-Universität: Nach zweieinhalb Jahren wieder Wahl zum Studentenparlament |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/goethe-universitaet-nach-zweieinhalb-jahren-wieder-wahl-zum-studentenparlament-18165903.html |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=FAZ.NET |language=de |archive-date=21 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240521075257/https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/goethe-universitaet-nach-zweieinhalb-jahren-wieder-wahl-zum-studentenparlament-18165903.html |url-status=live }}</ref> in recent years and the incidents and judgements against the AStA.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 June 2023-06-08 |title=Linksextremismus: Uni Frankfurt geht gegen AStA-Tweet zu Lina E. vor |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/linksextremismus-uni-frankfurt-geht-gegen-asta-tweet-zu-lina-e-vor-18950150.html |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=FAZ.NET |language=de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Čulina |first=Kevin |date=21 February 2021-02-21 |title=Uni Frankfurt gegen Asta: Zu politisch |url=https://taz.de/!5753242/ |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |work=Die Tageszeitung: taz |language=de |issn=0931-9085 |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054638/https://taz.de/Uni-Frankfurt-gegen-Asta/!5753242/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Frankfurter Asta hat Aufgabengebiet überschritten |url=https://www.forschung-und-lehre.de/recht/frankfurter-asta-hat-aufgabengebiet-ueberschritten-3528 |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=www.forschung-und-lehre.de |language=de |archive-date=20 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240520210113/https://www.forschung-und-lehre.de/recht/frankfurter-asta-hat-aufgabengebiet-ueberschritten-3528 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Universität durfte AStA allgemeine politische Äußerungen verbieten |url=https://rsw.beck.de/aktuell/daily/meldung/detail/vg-frankfurt-universitaet-durfte-asta-allgemeine-politische-aeusserungen-verbieten |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=Aktuell |language=de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054746/https://rsw.beck.de/aktuell/daily/meldung/detail/vg-frankfurt-universitaet-durfte-asta-allgemeine-politische-aeusserungen-verbieten |url-status=live }}</ref>

Goethe University has its own non-exhaustive network of alumni organisations, a sponsors' association and its own e-mail distribution list for alumni.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Goethe-Alumni |url=https://www.alumni.uni-frankfurt.de/44662724/Goethe_Alumni___Goethe_Universit%C3%A4t_Frankfurt |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=www.alumni.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=15 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515004433/https://www.alumni.uni-frankfurt.de/44662724/Goethe_Alumni___Goethe_Universit%C3%A4t_Frankfurt |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Alumni-Vereine |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/44663395/Alumni_Vereine? |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=15 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515004440/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/44663395/Alumni_Vereine |url-status=live }}</ref> Alumni organisations require formal recognition and approval by the university administration in order to be listed as official alumni associations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Was ist bei der Neugründung eines Alumni-Vereins an der Goethe-Universität zu beachten? |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/48349013/grundung-eines-alumni-vereins.pdf |access-date=2024-05-21 May 2024 |website=Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main |language=de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819055140/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/48349013/grundung-eines-alumni-vereins.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> Without such recognition, it is not possible for the association to list itself as an official alumni organisation of Goethe University.

=== Independent alumni organisations ===
Local, regional, national, European and international student initiatives have given rise to many parallel alumni networks that run in parallel and independently of each other. These include the alumni organisations of [[AIESEC]], MTP - Marketing between Theory and Practice, [[European Law Students' Association]], [[Erasmus Student Network]] and others. Student initiatives such as green finance consulting, Goethe Club, Goethe Gruppe or Night of Science, as well as political university groups, are further hybrids between student initiatives and alumni organisations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Night of Science – 21.06.2024 |url=https://nightofscience.de/ |access-date=21 May 2024-05-21 |language=de-DE |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819055254/https://nightofscience.de/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Night of Science |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/94748989/Night_of_Science |access-date=21 May 2024-05-21 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=15 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515004438/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/94748989/Night_of_Science |url-status=live }}</ref> Independent alumni organisations are not recognised as official alumni organisations at Goethe University.
