About Technion

In 1924, the first class at the Technion, which numbered 16 students, opened, leaving the first university in Israel. The first building was located in a place that would later become the Hadar neighborhood in Haifa. The water was pumped from a well dug in a spot specifically for the Technion's needs. Ahead of the opening, there was a heated debate about the language of study at the Technion: Many thought that teaching should take place in German because of the paucity of Hebrew-speaking lecturers, Hebrew textbooks and professional Hebrew terms. The decision to teach in German triggered a wave of resistance and protests in the young community in Israel, and the struggle led to a change of decision and the establishment of Hebrew as the language of instruction at the Technion. This event was considered the culmination of the war of the languages ​​that took place in the Hebrew community at the time, and its results set Hebrew as the sole language of the community.
