The “Regional University IT and Data Center of the University of Bonn” (RHRZ) was founded on November 1 in 1974.

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary in November 2024, the University IT and Data Centre looks back on its beginnings and the impressive development in the areas of information technology and digitalization at the University of Bonn.

In the first week of November, the HRZ is dedicating each day to one of the last five decades and publishing a new page in the new “History” area of the website, in which the most important milestones and technical achievements of the last 50 years are documented. This gives an exciting insight, including a picture gallery, into the past of IT and data processing at the University IT and Data Center of the University of Bonn.

A new video series “HRZ time travel” will be published on the HRZ channel on YouTube, which illustrates the most important development steps of the past decades – up to the here and now in 2024 – in an entertaining way.

The HRZ time travel starts in the founding years: the 1970s.
