He established an institution of higher learning, John institution of higher learning, in the old St. John monastery in Hamburg. At the same time, the city library established by 1479 has also been updated.
Because this middle school is very popular, and in order to reduce the number of young people from high schools in Staade and Bremen who transfer to Hamburg, a school 16 13 was established in Hamburg? Academic high school? . Here, students can prepare for university courses in two semesters. At first, there were four professors in this high school, and then there were six. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, the parliament and citizens gradually ignored the public academic education in cities.

Another important academic facility of Humboldt is Hamburg Observatory, which was built in 180 1. Its main task is navigation.
The modern Christian middle school in nearby Artonne has been strongly supported by the Danish king, which further intensified Hamburg's interest in public higher education from 1738. 1806, Hamburg had130,000 residents, but John College had only 125 students and academic high schools had only 18 students.

Famous scholars such as Cahill once taught here. By 193 1, the number of university professors has increased to 75. Because the economic situation hit students hard at that time, 1922 was established? Hamburg Student Help Association? . In the autumn of the same year, the association opened its first student dormitory in Hamburg, and in the summer of the following year, it opened its first student canteen in Hamburg.
During the Nazi period, Hamburg University was renamed as Lufthansa University. The books of writers considered bad by the Nazis were taken away from the library. About 50 scholars were fired (including Ernst? Cahill and William? Stearns), at least seven students were arrested for being associated with or suspected of being associated with white roses, and later died in prison.
After 1945, the postwar universities reopened in the name of Hamburg University. Teaching and research work gradually resumed. Initially, the university had four departments (law and sociology, medicine, philosophy and natural science). Theology added in 1954. Law and sociology are separate, and sociology and economics are separate departments. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a large classroom and a philosophy building were built. The Institute of Botany and the Botanical Garden moved out of the city. In 1970s, with the rapid increase of the number of students, many new buildings were built, which became the landmarks of today's universities. Even so, the original campus is not big enough. Today, Hamburg is full of university buildings.
In 2000, the two law faculties merged.
