Tübingen University Faculty for Chemistry and Pharmacy, Chemistry and pharmacy faculty in Tübingen, Germany.
The Tübingen University Faculty for Chemistry and Pharmacy was a faculty of the university, formed from the chemistry department and pharmacy and comprising biochemistry, chemistry and pharmacy. From 1972 its institutes occupied the Morgenstelle campus: inorganic and organic chemistry in the 13-storey A building, pharmacy and physical chemistry in the 10-storey B building. It was merged into the new Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences on 1 October 2010.
The faculty traces back to the independent natural sciences faculty founded in 1863, which was split into departments in 1969; chemistry and pharmacy then formed a faculty with biochemistry, chemistry and pharmacy as its three sections. Chemistry institutes moved to the Morgenstelle campus in 1972, and on 1 October 2010 the faculty was absorbed into the newly founded Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
Günther Weitzel, at Tübingen since 1957, set up a biochemistry degree course there that began in 1962 and was then unique in Germany, taught in the new physiological-chemistry institute on the Schnarrenberg built 1959–1965. Pharmacy in Tübingen is also unusual in offering a master's course alongside the state examination.
The chemistry institutes moved in 1972 to the Morgenstelle campus on the hill, into the 13-storey A building (inorganic and organic chemistry) and the 10-storey B building (pharmacy and physical chemistry). The faculty was dissolved on 1 October 2010 into the new Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, so there is no faculty to visit; the buildings stand on the Morgenstelle.
The first laboratory was set up in the former castle kitchen of Hohentübingen in 1753 and operated there until 1863. In 1972 the chemistry institutes moved to the Morgenstelle campus, where inorganic and organic chemistry occupied the 13-storey A building and pharmacy and physical chemistry the 10-storey B building.
