Introduction
Since the foundation of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in 1778 it is independent and therewith unique in Germany. When in 2003 the university became a foundation, more self-responsibility and liberties were granted. The TiHo has got five interdiciplinary centres and joins six clinics, 20 institutes and three branches on two campuses in Hannover. Two remote stations in the south of Hannover in Ruthe and in Bakum near Vechta focus on research and education.
