Imagine it's an anniversary and no one can get there

What until recently sounded like the nightmare of our organizing team has unfortunately become a reality due to Corona. The pandemic continues to make large public events impossible. Therefore, we cannot celebrate our big anniversary "50 years of the University of Kassel" as planned, many events have to be postponed. The university's motto "Today for Tomorrow" thus takes on a whole new meaning: plans are being made today so that we can celebrate all the more exuberantly next year! And instead of moping around, we in the organization team have come up with a few ideas to get you in the mood for the anniversary already. Would you like to see some examples?

50 years - 50 greetings

What are birthday children most happy about? About congratulations from friends! Our university is also happy about the many birthday greetings that reach us from all over the world. You can find them in the section "50 years - 50 greetings" on the anniversary web page www.50jahre-unikassel.de. A colorful bouquet of well-wishers who have helped shape our university and who have been associated with it for a long time. Former students and staff congratulate and tell how warmly they were welcomed in Kassel and what made their time at the university unforgettable. Some former presidents also send greetings on the occasion of the university's birthday and even some celebrities congratulate on the anniversary. Enjoy with us 50 greetings from all over the world and be curious who will still congratulate in the course of the year

Streetcar "50 years University of Kassel

Have you already discovered our anniversary streetcar? It has been traveling through Kassel for a few weeks now, bringing a splash of color to the city. Like our Mensa column, it was designed in cheerful anniversary colors by Lingyu Jin. She studies visual communication at the University of Art and Design and created the corporate design for "50 Years of Kassel University." "With my design, I want to emphasize the strength, cheerfulness and self-confidence of the university," she says. She has succeeded in doing so. Don't worry if you haven't spotted the streetcar yet - it will continue to run throughout the anniversary year.

Anniversary products

You can also bring a piece of the anniversary home with our new products for "50 Years of Kassel University". Coffee or tea in the morning tastes even better from the anniversary mug. And everything you have to carry in everyday life is well kept in the anniversary bag. Both were designed by Amelie Noll, who also studies visual communication at the Kunsthochschule. We placed special emphasis on ecologically and fairly produced materials. And that's not all: you can also look forward to some snazzy T-shirts and pencils in anniversary design that we are currently designing for you. You can order all products in the store on the anniversary website at www.50jahre-unikassel.de. A selection is also available for purchase at the Campus Center.
