Leipzig University was founded on 2 December 1409 as part of the monastery of St Thomas, with former masters and scholars from Prague, and is counted among the oldest universities in Europe. In 1539 the work of Rector Caspar Borner and the humanist Joachim Camerarius amounted to the founding of a new university, and in 1687 Christian Thomasius became the first German university professor to lecture in German. Women were officially admitted to study in 1906. In the German Democratic Republic the university was renamed Karl-Marx-Universität, and it dropped that name after reunification in 1990. The Paulinum, an assembly hall and university church, was inaugurated in 2017 after the original church was demolished in 1968.
