1963 May 17, Elmar Lang, “Studenten oder Studierende”, in Die Zeit:Der feine Unterschied zwischen "Student" und "Studierender" besteht trotz aller ministeriellen Verlautbarungen weiter: Ein Student studiert an einer Universität oder Technischen Hochschule, ein Studierender hingegen studiert an einer jener Anstalten, die früher einmal "Höhere Technische Lehranstalt" oder auch "Maschinenbauschule" hießen, die dann in "Staatliche Ingenieurschulen" umbenannt wurden und heute noch so heißen.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
Usage notes
- In official parlance, the plural Studierende is increasingly used instead of Studenten for gender-neutrality. In the singular this is less relevant, though the word Student might also be replaced with Studierender altogether. The practice has been criticised.[1] As yet, it has only very limited influence on common speech, however.
