History In 1925, regional entrepreneurs, including Rosenheim sawmill owner Hugo Laue (1869–1956), founded the private Holztechnikum. The Holztechnikum was first housed at the Max-Josephs-Square in the city centre of Rosenheim. At the beginning, in May 1925, the school had 22 students, the evening courses for masters and assistants were attended by twelve people. In 1943 this private technical school was nationalized. In the 1950s the expansion of the Holztechnikum began, a wood economics course and a sawmill technology course were introduced. In addition, the technical school was renamed "Staatliches Holztechnikum Rosenheim - Staatliche Ingenieurschule". From 1953, a six-semester engineering course in the field of wood was offered. And in 1958, practice and test facilities were built at the site of today's university. The latter moved to its present location on Marienbergerstraße in 1970 and was upgraded to Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences in 1971 when the Bavarian Law on Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulgesetz), came into force. The Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences started with the departments of General Sciences, Business Administration, Wood Technology and Plastics Technology. Since 2014, the university has had an additional branch to the Rosenheim one with the Campus Mühldorf am Inn. In 2016, the university further expanded to the Campus Burghausen. At the start of the 2018/2019 winter semester, the last change of the name to Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences took place. The university still has the status of a university of applied sciences. The Chiemgau Campus in Traunstein opened for the 2019/20 winter semester and is the latest addition to the campus.
