In 2011, the Senate of Leibniz University Hannover established a work group tasked with conducting an in-depth review of activities during the Nazi period at the former Technische Hochschule Hannover between 1933 and 1945 as well as between 1945 and 1978. Leibniz University Hannover intends to resolve the darkest chapter of its history during the years of the Nazi dictatorship, as well as activities of officials formerly involved in the Nazi regime employed at TH/TU Hannover after 1945.
