Academia Holsatorum Chiloniensis
10/05/1665 AD founded
Founded under the name Christiana Albertina on 5 October 1665 by Christian Albert, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp.
The citizens of the city of Kiel were initially quite sceptical about the upcoming influx of students, thinking that these could be "quite a pest with their gluttony, heavy drinking and their questionable character" (German: mit Fressen, Sauffen und allerley leichtfertigem Wesen sehr ärgerlich seyn).
But those in the city who envisioned economic advantages of a university in the city won, and Kiel thus became the northernmost university in the German Holy Roman Empire
