Universitas HKBP Nommensen (English: Nommensen HKBP University) a.k.a. UHN is an Evangelical Lutheran private university with campuses located in Medan and Pematang Siantar, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The university belongs to Batak Christian Protestant Church (Indonesian: Huria Kristen Batak Protestan a.k.a HKBP) and is named after the German Lutheran missionary Ludwig Ingwer Nommensen from the Rhenish Missionary Society.
History
The idea for a university was first floated during the 1952 General Synod of the HKBP. After two years of preparation, the university was inaugurated on the premises of the former Pantoan Hospital in the highland town of Pematangsiantar on 7 October 1954 with three faculties; Law, Economics, and Theology; and an enrolment of 36 students.
In 1955, the law faculty was closed due to the lack of teaching staff and was re-opened in 1980 in the Medan city campus. In 1978, the theological faculty was separated from the university and re-organised as the HKBP Theological Institute (Indonesian: Sekolah Tinggi Theologia HKBP)
