Anniversary celebration & Campus Party

We’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of Zittau University of Applied Sciences: Join us and enjoy a fun-filled day on the Zittau campus, followed by a party.

#throwbackHSZG

The Zittau University of Applied Sciences was founded 50 years ago. This turned Zittau into a college town. We’re taking this anniversary as an opportunity to celebrate with you! We want to look back and look ahead, and provide insight into our current work and future prospects. You can look forward to a diverse program featuring a Science Lounge, a sports and campus festival with hands-on activities for all ages, exhibitions, open labs, and much more. In our high voltage facility, we’ll be presenting the popular live experimental music and high-voltage electrical experiments show, “KLANG SPANNUNG LICHT 2.0.”

Dear Members, Friends, Supporters, and Companions,

Fifty years ago, a new chapter began in Zittau. With the founding of the University of Engineering, Zittau and Upper Lusatia became a center of higher education; there were predecessor and successor institutions—most of you are familiar with the facts. We are taking this as an occasion to celebrate, to look back, but also to look ahead. The members of the celebration committee—whom I would like to thank very warmly for their hard work—have put together a truly extensive and varied program.
There should be something for everyone—you are cordially invited. I look forward to seeing you!

Prof. Dr. Friedrich Albrecht
Rector of Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences

Dear students, 

 

You want to celebrate?
No problem - we're giving you a campus party for our anniversary celebration with cool bands, a great stage, cool drinks and delicious food. So pack up your friends, put on your festival outfit and dance the night away with us!

It's going to be great!

    16:00 - 16:45 Mr. Creamy

    The creamiest band in the world!

    17:00 - 17:45 Science Speech

    18:00 - 18:45 Moonmind

    Moonmind makes fine melancholic-optimistic and profoundly catchy indie pop. Music that doesn't just catch your ear. It goes into the heart, into the stomach and finally into the head.

    19:00 - 20:00 Post Modern Orchestra

    Eight musicians on stage, transforming scenic soundscapes and instrumental novellas into emotional experiences with twelve instruments and inviting you to dance at the same time.

    20:15 - 21:00 Samadhi

    Stage, light show, sound, crowd, head nodding to the beat, hands in the air.
    Soul-inspired beats, native hip hop, funk influences. Samadhi stands for positive, energetic songs.

    21:15 - 22:15 JPATTERSSON

    There is dub. There's downtempo and techno, but it echoes far beyond genre boundaries. There's a summery hint of reggae, but refreshingly different than usual. It sounds extremely casual, but also wonderfully danceable.

    22:30 - 23:30 Dauerwelle Wasserstoff

    The Schlager punk band!
    There's something for everyone here, the finest punk rock and the first best of 100 years of Schlager music - a delightfully controversial misunderstanding that reveres both genres at the same time.

    from 00:00 After Campus Party!

    All those who want to round off the evening in style or welcome the morning in style have the opportunity to do so in the DeZi-bar (Schliebenstraße 27) in Zittau!

    Daniel Fiß

    His research focuses on transport and storage containers (Castor containers) designed to hold spent nuclear fuel from nuclear power plants.
