University of Vienna

The University of Vienna (German: Universität Wien) in Austria was founded in 1365 by Rudolph IV and hence named Alma mater Rudolphina. It is the largest and oldest university in the German-speaking world (except the University of Prague, which used to be partly German-speaking). To distinguish it from other Viennese universities, it is also often informally referred to as Hauptuni ("main university").
