The University of Göttingen, officially known as Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, was founded in 1737 in Göttingen, Germany. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Germany, renowned for its strong emphasis on research and education in the sciences and humanities. The university has an illustrious history, particularly noted for its contributions to the field of physics; it was a key center during the development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century. Many notable scholars, including over 40 Nobel laureates, have been associated with Göttingen, contributing to its reputation as a leading institution in both theoretical and applied research.
