Founded in 1965 (heritage to a 1907 medical academy), renamed in 1988 after Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) — the great German Jewish poet born in Düsseldorf, whose works were burned by Nazis at Bebelplatz 1933. Approximately 35,000 students. The naming is itself a statement — Heine wrote the prophetic words 'Where they burn books, in the end they will also burn people' (1820), and was persecuted in life and posthumously by both Prussian state and Nazi regime.
