History

• The university was founded in 1607 by Louis V, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, who created his own Lutheran institution in Giessen after the all-Hessian University of Marburg had turned Reformed, that is Calvinist.该校由黑森-达姆施塔特伯爵路德维希五世（Louis V）于 1607 年创办；由于原本面向全黑森的马尔堡大学改宗加尔文主义，他遂在吉森另建一所路德宗学府。
• Endowed with a charter issued by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, on 19 May 1607, the university, originally named Ludoviciana after its founder, began instruction in October 1607 to train pastors and civil servants.该校于 1607 年 5 月 19 日获得神圣罗马帝国皇帝鲁道夫二世（Rudolf II）颁发的特许状，最初以其创办人命名为「路德维希大学」（Ludoviciana），1607 年 10 月开始授课，主要培养牧师与文官。
• During the Thirty Years' War, when Hesse-Darmstadt took the area around Marburg, instruction ceased and the university moved back to Marburg in 1624 and 1625, returning to Giessen in 1650 after the Peace of Westphalia.三十年战争期间，黑森-达姆施塔特占领马尔堡周边地区，学校一度停课并于 1624 至 1625 年迁回马尔堡；《威斯特伐利亚和约》签订后，该校于 1650 年迁回吉森。
• In the 17th and 18th centuries the Ludoviciana was a typical small state university with the four common faculties of theology, law, medicine and philosophy, teaching several hundred students with 20 to 25 professors who were mostly Landeskinder.17 至 18 世纪，路德维希大学是一所典型的小型州立大学，设神学、法学、医学与哲学四学院，由 20 至 25 名教授教授数百名学生，其中多数为本邦子弟。
• Curricular modernisation in the 18th century was influenced by the model universities of the Enlightenment, Halle University founded in 1694 and Göttingen University founded in the 1730s, though reforms were limited by the modest finances of Hesse-Darmstadt.18 世纪的课程现代化受到两所启蒙运动典范大学的启发——1694 年创办的哈勒大学与 1730 年代创办的哥廷根大学，但改革始终受黑森-达姆施塔特有限的财力制约。
• Out of this financial hardship came a Faculty of Economics between 1777 and 1785 that combined veterinary medicine, forestry and cameral sciences, including one of the earliest courses of study in forestry in Europe.正是出于这一财政困境，该校于 1777 至 1785 年间设立了经济学院，把兽医学、林学与官房学结合起来，其中林学课程是欧洲最早的一批。
• At the turn of the 19th century Giessen was the only university of the enlarged Grand Duchy of Hesse and, alongside Jena, a prototype of the politicised Vormärz university, with the Giessener Schwarzen and figures such as Karl Follen and Georg Büchner.19 世纪之交，吉森是扩大后的黑森大公国唯一的大学，与耶拿并列，是政治化「三月前」时期大学的典型，出现了「吉森黑衫党」以及卡尔·弗伦（Karl Follen）、格奥尔格·毕希纳（Georg Büchner）等人。
• In 1824 the 21-year-old Justus von Liebig was appointed through the Grand Duchy against the will of the university and on the recommendation of Alexander von Humboldt, opening a new era in the natural sciences.1824 年，年仅 21 岁的尤斯图斯·冯·李比希经大公国任命、并由亚历山大·冯·洪堡（Alexander von Humboldt）推荐来到吉森，尽管校方并不情愿，此举开启了该校自然科学的新时代。
• Among the scholars who shaped the university were the antiquarian Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker, the legal scholar Rudolf von Jhering, the theologian Adolf von Harnack, the mathematician Moritz Pasch and the physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.塑造该校的学者包括古物学家弗里德里希·戈特利布·韦尔克（Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker）、法学家鲁道夫·冯·耶林（Rudolf von Jhering）、神学家阿道夫·冯·哈纳克（Adolf von Harnack）、数学家莫里茨·帕施（Moritz Pasch）与物理学家威廉·康拉德·伦琴（Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen）。
• At the turn of the 20th century the Ludoviciana expanded into a modern university, establishing new human and veterinary clinics, giving the library its first proper building and inaugurating the central building in 1880.20 世纪之交，路德维希大学向现代大学扩展，新建人文与兽医诊所，图书馆首次拥有独立馆舍，1880 年又落成中央大楼。
