The Hochschule Furtwangen University (HFU) (University of applied science Furtwangen), formerly the Fachhochschule Furtwangen (FHF) is a German university based in Furtwangen im Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. As of 2005 it has 3556 students.[citation needed]

The university dates back to a school for clock making founded in 1850 by Robert Gerwig. After World War II, the school was split into two branches — one for engineering, the other for job training. The first one became a Fachhochschule when this new kind of universities was introduced in the early 1970s.
