University of Leipzig Founded
1409
German students and professors withdrew from the University of Prague after a dispute over voting rights, stemming partly from Czech national assertion during the Hussite controversies, and founded a new university at Leipzig. It would become one of Central Europe's leading institutions, training generations of Lutherans in the next century.
