A Technische Hochschule is a type of university focusing on engineering sciences in Germany. It existed in Austria, the Netherlands, Finland. In the 1970s and the 1980s, the Technische Hochschule emerged into the Technische Universität or Technische Universiteit. Since 2009, several German universities of applied sciences were renamed to Technische Hochschulen. In German-language countries, the term Hochschule is more general than Universität and encompasses universities which do not have the right to confer doctorates and habilitations, in contrast to Universitäten. Today, Universitäten as well as other Hochschulen call themselves Technische Hochschule for historical reasons. However, a Technische Hochschule with the status of a Universität is regarded as a Technische Universität despite the name. Since the Middle Ages, higher education institutions in Europe were called a university only if a certain classical canon of subjects encompassing philosophy, medicine and theology was taught; when engineering sciences became more important in academica due to the Industrial Revolution, institutions of tertiary education devoted to these were denied the prestigious denomination "university", had to use the more general term Hochschule instead.

It was a major breakthrough when in the first half of the 20th century, some Technische Hochschulen in Germany and Technische Hogescholen in the Netherlands were given the right to award the doctoral degrees, again when they were allowed to call themselves universities. This change of status was accompanied by a broader spectrum of academic disciplines and more fundamental research. While most former Technische Hochschulen opted to change their name to Technische Universität to reflect their new status, some of them preferred to maintain their traditional and established names, most notably the RWTH Aachen in Germany as well as ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne in Switzerland. Starting in 2009, several German universities of applied sciences with a technical focus have changed their names to Technische Hochschule.

Examples include Teknillinen korkeakoulu in Espoo, Tampereen teknillinen korkeakoulu and Lappeenrannan teknillinen korkeakoulu. To German speaking countries, most of them changed their name to teknillinen yliopisto, equivalent to a TU. However, Teknillinen korkeakoulu retained its old name until it merged with two other universities to form the current Aalto University. TU9 German Institutes of Technology e. V.
