German Ruprecht-Karl-Universit?t Heidelberg

Autonomous university at Heidelberg, Germany.

It was founded in 1386 and modeled on the University of Paris. The first college was founded by the Cistercian order. The university suffered a decline in the 17th-18th centuries but regained its prestige after a reorganization in the early 19th century, becoming a centre of sciences, law, and philosophy.
