The first issue of UNI-INFO was published on 11 March 1974.

The university newspaper UNI-INFO is available in many places at the university and is also published online. In 2024, it celebrated its 50th birthday together with the university, making it almost as old as the university itself. The first issue was published three weeks before the start of the first semester. This makes UNI-INFO one of the few university newspapers in Germany to have been published continuously for over 50 years and always under the same name. It served "as an internal university newsletter, a calendar of events and a forum for discussion", explained the press office at the time, which still publishes the campus newspaper today. By 2024, 576 issues had been published - a valuable chronicle with lots of information and stories from research, teaching, studies, further education and the campus.

UNI-INFO has changed a lot over the years. In the beginning, it was published weekly or more frequently, but now it comes out four times a year. In turn, the issues have become longer and longer: in the beginning there were just two pages, today there are twelve. The lead deserts of the 1970s have become texts illustrated with pictures and graphics. UNI-INFO has long since relinquished its role as a discussion forum and calendar of events to more flexible online formats. But interviews, background reports and features are of course still available. An archive of all previous issues can be found here.
