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).

The historical roots of the university can be traced back as far as 1484,<ref>[[Rudolf Jung (historian)|Rudolf Jung]], ''Frankfurter Hochschulpläne 1384–1868.'' In: ''Frankfurter Historische Forschungen.'' Heft 1. K. F. Koehler, Leipzig 1915.</ref> when a City Council Library was established with a bequest from the patrician Ludwig von Marburg. Merged with other collections, it was renamed City Library in 1668 and became the university library in 1914.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/ueber/stub_geschichte.html|title=Geschichte der Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek|website=www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de|access-date=5 August 2017|archive-date=10 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170710193707/http://www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/ueber/stub_geschichte.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Depending on the country, the date of foundation is recorded differently. According to Anglo-American calculations, the founding date of Goethe University would be 1484. In Germany, the date on which the right to award doctorates is granted is considered the founding year of a university.
The modern history of the University of Frankfurt can be dated to 28 September 1912, when the foundation contract for the "Königliche Universität zu Frankfurt am Main" (Royal University at Frankfurt on the Main) was signed at the Römer, Frankfurt's town hall. Royal permission for the university was granted on 10 June 1914, and the first enrollment of students began on 16 October 1914. Members of Frankfurt's Jewish community, including the [[Speyer family]], [[Wilhelm Ralph Merton]], and the industrialists Leo Gans and [[Arthur von Weinberg]] donated two thirds of the foundation capital of the University of Frankfurt.

The university also has been influential in the natural sciences and medicine, with Nobel Prize winners including [[Max von Laue]] and [[Max Born]], and breakthroughs such as the [[Stern–Gerlach experiment]].
In recent years, the university has focused in particular on law, history, and economics, creating new institutes, such as the [[Institute for Law and Finance]] (ILF) and the [[Center for Financial Studies]] (CFS) {{citation needed|date=January 2014}}. One of the university's ambitions is to become Germany's leading university for finance and economics, given the school's proximity to one of Europe's financial centers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.finance.uni-frankfurt.de/master/presse/178.pdf |title=Die Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität auf dem Weg zur führenden Wirtschaftshochschule in Deutschland |access-date=26 September 2011 |archive-date=16 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916132234/http://www.finance.uni-frankfurt.de/master/presse/178.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> In cooperation with [[Duke University]]'s [[Fuqua School of Business]], the [[Goethe Business School]] offers an MBA program. Goethe University has established an international award for research in financial economics, the [[Deutsche bank prize|Deutsche Bank Prize in Financial Economics]].

==Campuses==
Line 87:
The university is located across four campuses in Frankfurt am Main:
The Westend Campus is the main location with the Presidential Board based in the Presidential and Administration Building (PA). The campus includes the [[IG Farben Building|I. G. Farben Building]] and numerous new buildings, including the [[House of Finance]] and the central lecture theatre building. In addition to the central administration, most departments, with the exception of Medicine and Natural Sciences, are or have been located here since 2001. The Language and Art Building (SKW) (FB 09) is currently the new building on campus. This campus is of particular historical significance, as Goethe University has inherited history through the acquisition of real estate.
"Campus Westend" of the university is dominated by the [[IG Farben Building]] by architect Hans Poelzig, an example of the [[Modern architecture|modernist]] [[New Objectivity]] style.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.monumente-online.de/de/ausgaben/2007/5/das-uebertuenchte-arkadien.php|title=Ein Wandgemälde in Frankfurts Universität – Monumente Online|website=www.monumente-online.de|access-date=24 October 2016|archive-date=13 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013055143/http://www.monumente-online.de/de/ausgaben/2007/5/das-uebertuenchte-arkadien.php|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>M. Tafuri, F. Dal Co: Klassische Moderne, Stuttgart, 1988, S148f</ref> The style for the IG Farben Building was originally chosen as "a symbol for the scientific and mercantile German manpower, made out of iron and stone", as the [[IG Farben]] director at the time of construction, [[Georg von Schnitzler|Baron von Schnitzler]], stated in his opening speech in October 1930.

After the university took over the complex in the 1990s, new buildings were added to the campus. On 30 May 2008, the [[House of Finance]] relocated to a new building designed by the architects Kleihues+Kleihues, following the style of the IG Farben Building. The upper floors of the House of Finance building have several separate offices as well as shared office space for researchers and students. The ground floor is open to the public and welcomes visitors with a spacious, naturally lit foyer that leads to lecture halls, seminar rooms, and the information center, a 24-hour reference library. The ground floor also accommodates computer rooms and a café. The floors, walls and ceiling of the foyer are decorated with a grid design that is continued throughout the entire building. The flooring is inspired by Raphael's mural, ''The School of Athens''.
The emergence of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Basic Law ([[Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany|Grundgesetz]]) can be traced back to the [[Frankfurt Documents|Frankfurter Dokumente]] that were handed over in the [[IG Farben Building|I. G. Farben Building]].
=== Campus Bockenheim ===
The Bockenheim campus is the former centre of the university, which still houses various parts of the language and cultural sciences, the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics, the central building of the [[Frankfurt University Library|university library Johann Christian Senckenberg]] and some parts of the administration in buildings dating from the 1950s to the 1970s.
=== Campus Riedberg ===
The Riedberg campus, with university buildings built from around 1970, is home to the Departments of Physics, Biochemistry, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Biosciences and (largely) Earth Sciences, the Science Garden and a lecture theatre centre with the natural sciences departmental library.
=== Campus Niederrad ===
The Niederrad campus is home to the University Hospital and the Department of Medicine, with buildings and facilities that have grown historically since the 19th century as well as modern complexes.
=== Campus Ginnheim ===
Sports.
=== General information ===
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 (1956-2011), 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
==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 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-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.
* Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main
* Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main
* Goethe Universität
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=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.
==The Deutsche Bank Prize==
The [[Deutsche Bank Prize in Financial Economics]] honors renowned researchers who have made influential contributions to the fields of finance and money and macroeconomics, and whose work has led to practical and policy-relevant results. It is awarded biannually, since 2005, by the [[Center for Financial Studies]], in partnership with Goethe University Frankfurt. The award carries an endowment of €50,000, which is donated by the Stiftungsfonds Deutsche Bank im Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft.

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=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 |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=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 |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 |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 |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=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 |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=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 |website=FAZ.NET |language=de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Čulina |first=Kevin |date=2021-02-21 |title=Uni Frankfurt gegen Asta: Zu politisch |url=https://taz.de/!5753242/ |access-date=2024-05-21 |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 |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 |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>
=== Student university groups and initiatives ===
The university management and the departments support numerous private and university-affiliated student groups, initiatives and private alumni organisations. There are also networks between the student university groups and initiatives via the departments and the Goethe University Network:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fachschaft und studentische Initiativen |url=https://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/studium/studierende/master/fachschaft-und-studentische-initiativen.html |website=Goethe Universität |access-date=21 April 2024 |archive-date=19 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819054630/https://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/studium/studienprogramme/bachelor/fachschaft-und-studentische-initiativen |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Studentische Initiativen |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/64349666/Studentische_Initiativen |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=24 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240224032056/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/64349666/Studentische_Initiativen |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Student councils ===
The student councils at Goethe University are legally regulated by the Hessian Higher Education Act. They are therefore not student initiatives in the traditional sense, as they are legally binding institutions without their own legal personality.
=== Student initiatives from the Deutschlandstipendium ===
New student initiatives are regularly created at Goethe University as part of the Deutschlandstipendium programme. These initiatives are supported by the non-material support programme for the Deutschlandstipendium from the Presidential Board of Goethe University.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Ideelles Förderprogramm |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/99248100/Ideelles_F%C3%B6rderprogramm |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=2 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240502142732/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/99248100/Ideelles_F%C3%B6rderprogramm |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Alumni organisations ==
=== University-related alumni organisations ===
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 |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 |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 |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. Officers of these organisations are mostly current and former professors as well as people in leading positions at Goethe University. The largest university-related alumni organisation with over 1,300 members is the Frankfurter Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Gesellschaft (fwwg), which was founded in 1988 and is open to the Department of Economics. The Association of Friends and Supporters of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main (''Vereinigung von Freunden und Förderern der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main'')<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Über uns |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/88862932/%C3%9Cber_uns |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=15 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515005937/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/88862932/%C3%9Cber_uns |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Goethe-Universität — Fördern und stiften an der Goethe-Universität |url=https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/66341241/foerdern_und_stiften |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=www.uni-frankfurt.de |archive-date=15 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515004433/https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/66341241/foerdern_und_stiften |url-status=live }}</ref> acts unofficially as an umbrella organisation for the university-related alumni organisations at Goethe University and is also the university's official support association.
=== 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=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=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.
