Technische Universität Braunschweig Carolo-Wilhelmina is a university with a long tradition: In 1745, Duke Carl von Braunschweig-Lüneburg was the first in Germany to lay the foundations for a technical university by founding the Collegium Carolinum. "Nec aspera terrent" – even adversities shall not deter us – this motto of the House of Welf also applies to us.
