- Title
What inspires a denominational university? A contribution to the history of institutions using the example of a silence facility.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article examines how the denominational character of the institution has been dealt with at Tilburg University in the Netherlands since its foundation in 1927 and especially since the beginning of late modernity in the 1960s. This is explained by using the example of its silence facility, as the building is paradigmatic for dealing with the question of the denominational identity. Firstly, an overview of the history of the institution on this issue is given. The building, its use and the controversy surrounding the name of the silence facility prove to be an integral part of this history. In addition, a fundamental analysis of the phenomenon of silence facilities is made before the results of the research are compiled at the end.
