Strasbourg I is a member of the LERU (League of European Research Universities).

The university emerged from a Lutheran humanist German Gymnasium, founded in 1538 by Johannes Sturm in the Free Imperial City of Strassburg. It was transformed to a university in 1631.

The German university still persisted even after the annexation of the City by King Louis XIV. in 1681, but mainly turned into a French university during the French Revolution.

The university was refounded as the German Kaiser-Wilhelm Universität in 1872, after the Franco-Prussian war and the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany made francophone teachers leave. In 1918 Alsace-Lorraine again came to France, and the university became French again, with all Germans that had settled on the Alsace after 1871 having to leave.

During World War II, when France was occupied, personnel and equipment of the University of Strasbourg was transferred to Clermont-Ferrand. In its place, the short-lived German Reichsuniversität Straßburg was created.
