Abstract:
In the course of GDR history, some centrally designed and controlled reforms of the higher education system were performed instead of founding new universities. The Third Educational Reform in the late sixties was part of a larger reform agenda, including economy, general education, basic research, and industrial R & D, following the fashionable paradigm of ‘big science’. Fundamental changes in university structure, significantly deviating from German tradition, should enhance the output both of well‐trained young specialists als well as of applicable knowledge mainly for the needs of industry. The shift in political leadership from Walter Ulbricht to Erich Honecker in 1971 left the reform uncompleted. The reform ideas partially lost their relevance against the profoundly changed reality of the seventies.
