German:
Im Jahr 1955 bezieht die „Staatliche Wirtschaftshochschule" den Ostflügel des Mannheimer Schlosses. Sie geht auf die 1907 gegründete städtische Handelshochschule Mannheim zurück. 1933 wird die Einrichtung von den Nationalsozialisten aufgelöst. 1946 wird die Handelshochschule als staatliche Wirtschaftshochschule wieder gegründet. In den 1950er und 1960er Jahren werden neben dem wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Schwerpunkt auch rechts- und geisteswissenschaftliche Fakultäten eingerichtet. Im Jahre 1967 erhält die Wirtschaftshochschule Mannheim den Universitätsstatus. In den Jahren danach erlebt die Universität Mannheim ein rasantes Wachstum. Waren 1967 noch 3 150 Studierende immatrikuliert, so wird Mitte der 1990er die Marke von 10 000 Studierenden überschritten. Dafür reichen die Räumlichkeiten im Schloss allein nicht mehr aus. Die Universität Mannheim ist heute als eine der besten deutschen Hochschulen anerkannt. © Stadtarchiv Mannheim Institut Für Stadtgeschichte

Bildunterschriften
(Foto Nr. 1) In ihrem langjährigen Siegel und dem Leitspruch in omnibus veritas knüpft die Universität an die Tradition der Pfälzischen Akademie der Wissenschaften on. Es wird anlässlich des Umzugs der Wirtschaftshochschule ins Schloss im Jahr 1955 eingeführt.
(Foto Nr. 2) Der zusätzliche Raumbedart der Universität wird mit Hilfe von Neubelegungen bzw. -bouten in den A- und L- Quadraten befriedigt. So wird beispielsweise in A 5 1972 ein Neubau für die sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät errichtet, der 1998-2000 nochmals umgebaut wird.

back to the Mannheim Municipal Business School, founded in 1907. In 1933, the institution was closed down by the National Socialists. In 1946, the Business School was re-established as a State Business School. In the 1950s and 1960s, in addition to the economic and social sciences focus, law and humanities faculties were established. In 1967, the Mannheim Business School was granted university status. In the years that followed, the University of Mannheim experienced rapid growth. While 3,150 students were enrolled in 1967, the 10,000 student mark was exceeded in the mid-1990s. The premises in the castle alone were no longer sufficient for this. The University of Mannheim is now recognized as one of the best German universities.

(Photo #1) In its long-standing seal and motto in omnibus veritas, the university follows the tradition of the Palatinate Academy of Sciences. It was introduced on the occasion of the move of the business school to the castle in 1955.
(Photo #2) The university's additional space requirements are met with the help of new allocations or blocks in the A and L squares. For example, in 1972 a new building for the social sciences faculty was built in A 5, which was rebuilt again in 1998-2000.
